  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006038",
  "term": "Gravitational potential",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The potential energy per unit mass at a given point in a gravitational field. It represents the work done by gravity in moving a unit mass from infinity to that point. In meteorology, changes in gravitational potential are related to the vertical movement of air parcels and the stability of the atmosphere.",
