  "term": "Isotope",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. Stable isotopes of water, such as oxygen-18 and deuterium, are used as tracers in atmospheric and hydrological studies. Their ratios can reveal information about past climate and water cycle processes.",
