  "term": "Interstadial",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A relatively warm phase of a glacial period, characterized by a temporary retreat of ice sheets and glaciers.

Interstadials are identified through analysis of ice cores, marine sediments, and terrestrial deposits.",
