  "term": "Environmental acoustics",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The study of sound propagation and its effects within the natural and built environment, including the atmosphere. This field investigates how atmospheric conditions, such as temperature gradients, wind, and humidity, influence the transmission, refraction, and absorption of sound waves. It is relevant for understanding noise pollution, sonic booms, and the use of sound for atmospheric remote sensing.",
