  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004676",
  "term": "Convective precipitation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Precipitation that originates from convective clouds, such as cumulus and cumulonimbus, characterized by its showery nature, often intense but short-lived, and spatially localized. This type of precipitation forms when warm, moist air rises rapidly, cools, and condenses, leading to the growth of raindrops or ice crystals. Thunderstorms are a common source of convective precipitation.",
