  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010544",
  "term": "Hydraulic mean depth",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A characteristic length scale used in fluid dynamics, particularly for open channel flow, defined as the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the flow to its wetted perimeter. It represents an average depth for non-rectangular channels. This parameter is used in calculating flow resistance and velocity in natural and artificial channels.",
