  "id": "MLC-T-MET-005814",
  "term": "Frontal wave",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A disturbance that forms along a stationary or slow-moving atmospheric front, characterized by a wave-like deformation of the frontal boundary. This initial perturbation can develop into a frontal cyclone as warm air begins to flow poleward and cold air equatorward around a developing low-pressure center. It represents the incipient stage of cyclogenesis.",
