  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005463",
  "term": "Ergodic",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Describing a stochastic process where the time average of a single realization of the process is equal to the ensemble average over all possible realizations. In atmospheric science, this concept implies that a sufficiently long time series of a meteorological variable can provide statistical properties equivalent to those obtained from many simultaneous observations. This property is often assumed in climate studies.",
