  "term": "Heat transfer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The movement of thermal energy from one region to another due to a temperature difference. In the atmosphere, this occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation, playing a fundamental role in global weather patterns and climate. The rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature gradient and the thermal properties of the medium.",
