  "term": "Extrapolation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of estimating a value beyond the original range of observed data, based on an assumed relationship or trend derived from the known data. In meteorology, this can involve extending a weather pattern or a statistical relationship into the future or to unobserved locations. The accuracy of extrapolation decreases rapidly with distance from the known data.",
