  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004898",
  "term": "Deflecting force",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A fictitious force that appears to act on moving objects within a rotating reference frame, such as the Earth. This force, known as the Coriolis force, causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Its magnitude depends on the object's velocity, the rotation rate of the frame, and the latitude.",
