  "term": "Convection-allowing model",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A numerical weather prediction model with a horizontal grid spacing fine enough to explicitly resolve individual convective storms without relying on parameterizations for convection. These models typically have grid spacings of 4 kilometers or less. They provide more detailed forecasts of precipitation, severe weather, and other mesoscale phenomena.",
