  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010565",
  "term": "Isobaric-isosteric solenoid",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A closed curve formed by the intersection of an isobaric surface (constant pressure) and an isosteric surface (constant specific volume) in a thermodynamic diagram or atmospheric cross-section. The number of these solenoids in a given area is proportional to the baroclinicity of the atmosphere. They indicate the presence and strength of atmospheric fronts and jet streams.",
