  "term": "Gestalt",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The overall pattern, configuration, or structure of a meteorological field as displayed on a weather map or satellite image. Forecasters interpret the gestalt of features like pressure systems, fronts, and jet streams to gain a holistic understanding of the synoptic-scale situation and its likely evolution. This pattern-recognition approach complements the analysis of individual data points by providing a broader context for the atmospheric state.",
