  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004548",
  "term": "Compensation of instruments",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of correcting for systematic errors in meteorological instruments caused by environmental factors, such as temperature or pressure changes. This involves designing instruments with built-in mechanisms or applying mathematical adjustments to raw readings. For example, a bimetallic strip in a barometer compensates for mercury density variations with temperature.",
