  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010446",
  "term": "Contrast",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The difference in radiative properties, such as brightness or temperature, between a meteorological feature and its background as depicted in satellite or radar imagery. High contrast allows for easier identification and analysis of atmospheric phenomena, like bright, cold cloud tops against a warm sea surface in infrared images. Image enhancement techniques are often applied to increase the contrast and highlight specific features of interest, such as thunderstorm updrafts.",
