Differential Motion

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-000707",
  "term": "Differential Motion",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Cloud motion that appears to differ relative to other nearby cloud elements,\ne.g. clouds moving from left to right relative to other clouds in the foreground or background. Cloud\nrotation is one example of differential motion, but not all differential motion indicates rotation. For\nexample, horizontal wind shear along a gust front may result in differential cloud motion without the\npresence of rotation.",
