  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004304",
  "term": "Circular vortex",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A fluid flow pattern characterized by concentric streamlines or trajectories, where the fluid rotates around a central axis. In meteorology, this describes idealized atmospheric circulations such as those found in tropical cyclones or mesoscale vortices. The velocity within a circular vortex can vary with distance from the center, often following a specific power law.",
