  "term": "Isentropic Lift",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Lifting of air that is traveling along an upward-sloping isentropic surface.\n\nIsentropic lift often is referred to erroneously as overrunning, but more accurately describes the physical process by which the lifting occurs. Situations involving isentropic lift often are characterized by widespread stratiform clouds and precipitation, but may include elevated convection in the form of embedded thunderstorms.",
