  "term": "Dynamic viscosity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A measure of a fluid's resistance to shear flow, representing the internal friction between adjacent layers of fluid moving at different velocities. It quantifies how easily a fluid deforms under stress. The SI unit for dynamic viscosity is the pascal-second (Pa·s), or the poise in the CGS system.",
