  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004302",
  "term": "Circular polarization",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of electromagnetic wave polarization where the electric field vector at a fixed point in space rotates in a circle as a function of time. In radar meteorology, circularly polarized waves are sometimes transmitted to gain information about the shape and orientation of hydrometeors. The rotation can be either right-handed or left-handed.",
