  "term": "Chimney cloud",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of cumuliform cloud that forms above a strong heat source, such as a large industrial chimney or a wildfire, rising vertically in a narrow column. The intense heat creates a localized updraft that condenses moisture into a visible cloud. These clouds are often short-lived and indicate strong thermal convection.",
