  "term": "Geostrophic dividers",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A specialized plotting tool used in meteorology to graphically determine the geostrophic wind speed and direction from a weather map. It consists of a pair of dividers with a scale that relates the distance between isobars or contours to the corresponding geostrophic wind speed. This instrument is calibrated for a specific latitude and pressure level, reflecting the variation of the Coriolis parameter.",
