  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006278",
  "term": "Horizontal wind shear",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A variation in wind velocity across a horizontal distance, indicating changes in wind speed or direction over a given area. This phenomenon occurs when adjacent air masses move at different speeds or in different directions. It is quantified by measuring the change in wind velocity per unit of horizontal distance, often expressed in units like meters per second per kilometer.",
