  "term": "Cloud physics",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The branch of atmospheric science that investigates the microphysical processes occurring within clouds, including the formation of cloud droplets and ice crystals, their growth, and their interactions. It examines phenomena such as condensation, freezing, collision-coalescence, and precipitation development. This field uses laboratory experiments, theoretical models, and field observations to understand cloud behavior.",
