  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006785",
  "term": "Kinetic theory",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A theoretical framework that explains the macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, and volume, by considering the microscopic motion of their constituent molecules. It postulates that gas molecules are in constant, random motion and that their collisions are perfectly elastic. This theory provides a foundation for understanding atmospheric thermodynamics and the behavior of air as a fluid.",
