  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004066",
  "term": "Budgets of atmospheric species",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A quantitative accounting of the sources, sinks, and transport processes that control the concentration of a chemical species in the atmosphere. The budget equation balances the rate of change of a species' concentration against its rates of emission, chemical production, chemical loss, and deposition. For a species in a steady state, the sum of all sources must equal the sum of all sinks.",
