  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004223",
  "term": "Center of gravity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The unique point where the weighted average of all the mass particles of an object is concentrated, such that if a force is applied at this point, the object will undergo translational motion without rotation. In atmospheric science, understanding the center of gravity of an air parcel or a cloud can be relevant for analyzing its stability and movement. For a uniform gravitational field, it coincides with the center of mass.",
