  "term": "Cross sea",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A sea state where two or more wave systems, generated by different wind fields or propagating from different directions, intersect. This condition results in a chaotic and irregular wave pattern, making navigation difficult and hazardous. Cross seas are often observed when swell from a distant storm meets locally generated wind waves.",
