  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005201",
  "term": "Dynamic climatology",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The study of climate based on the physical laws governing atmospheric motion and energy transfer, focusing on the underlying atmospheric dynamics that produce observed climate patterns. This field investigates the general circulation of the atmosphere, teleconnections, and the mechanisms driving climate variability and change. It contrasts with descriptive climatology, which focuses on statistical summaries of climate data.",
