  "term": "Cunningham slip correction",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A factor applied to Stokes' law to account for the non-continuum effects experienced by very small particles moving through a gas. When the particle size is comparable to or smaller than the mean free path of the gas molecules, the gas no longer behaves as a continuous fluid. This correction increases the calculated settling velocity or mobility of such particles, particularly relevant for aerosols in the sub-micrometer range.",
