  "term": "Grid length",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The spatial resolution or distance between adjacent grid points in a numerical model of the atmosphere or ocean. A smaller grid length allows for the representation of finer-scale atmospheric processes, but it also increases computational cost. This parameter is a fundamental characteristic of any gridded model.",
