  "term": "Geodesic grid",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of grid used in numerical models, particularly for global atmospheric and oceanic simulations, where grid points are distributed approximately uniformly over a sphere. This grid minimizes singularities and distortion found in latitude-longitude grids, improving computational efficiency and accuracy. It is often based on an icosahedron or other polyhedra.",
