  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006132",
  "term": "Gust-gradient distance",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The horizontal distance over which a gust's speed changes from its mean value to its peak value. This metric quantifies the spatial scale of wind speed variations within a turbulent flow. It is a factor in assessing the impact of wind shear on structures and aircraft, particularly during landing or takeoff operations.",
