Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005868
A soft, silvery-white metal with a low melting point, sometimes used in specialized meteorological instruments. Its compounds, such as gallium arsenide, are employed in semiconductor devices for sensors and detectors due to their electronic properties. It is not a primary atmospheric constituent but finds application in instrument design.
