  "term": "Index correction",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An adjustment applied to a reading from a meteorological instrument to account for a systematic error in its calibration or construction. This correction compensates for a consistent offset between the instrument's indicated value and the true value of the measured variable. For example, a barometer might require an index correction if its scale is not precisely aligned with the actual atmospheric pressure.",
