  "term": "Forestry",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The science and practice of managing forests and woodlands, with relevance to atmospheric science through the study of biosphere-atmosphere interactions. Forest canopies influence the planetary boundary layer, affect local and regional weather patterns through evapotranspiration, and play a major part in the global carbon cycle. Meteorological data is also a primary input for forest fire danger rating systems and for modeling the dispersion of smoke from wildfires.",
