  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005033",
  "term": "Dipole moment",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, such as a molecule or a cloud. It arises from differences in electronegativity between atoms or from the spatial arrangement of charges. Water molecules, for instance, possess a permanent dipole moment due to their bent structure, influencing their interactions in the atmosphere.",
