  "term": "Frontal lifting",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process by which a warmer, less dense air mass is forced to rise over a colder, more dense air mass along an atmospheric front. This upward motion cools the rising air, leading to condensation, cloud formation, and precipitation. It is a primary mechanism for generating weather along both warm and cold fronts.",
