  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004678",
  "term": "Convective Richardson number",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A dimensionless parameter used to assess the likelihood of convective initiation and the strength of convection, relating the buoyant energy available to the kinetic energy required to overcome a capping inversion. It is a ratio of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) to Convective Inhibition (CIN). Lower values suggest a greater potential for deep, vigorous convection.",
