  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006253",
  "term": "High-level thunderstorm",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A thunderstorm whose cloud base is situated at a relatively high altitude, often several thousand feet above the ground. This occurs when the lifting condensation level is elevated due to a dry boundary layer or a strong capping inversion. While the cloud base is high, the storm can still produce precipitation and severe weather at the surface, as the precipitation falls through the dry layer below.",
