  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010456",
  "term": "Curtis-Godson approximation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A method used in radiative transfer calculations to simplify the treatment of non-homogeneous atmospheric paths for gaseous absorption. It replaces a non-uniform path with an equivalent homogeneous path by weighting the pressure and temperature along the path. This approximation is commonly applied in atmospheric models to compute broadband radiative fluxes.",
