  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005275",
  "term": "Eddy velocity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The fluctuating component of the fluid velocity associated with turbulent motions, distinct from the mean flow velocity. These irregular and seemingly random velocity components are responsible for the mixing and transport of properties within a turbulent fluid. Eddy velocities can vary significantly in magnitude and direction over short time scales.",
