  "term": "Lagrangian correlation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A statistical measure of the correlation between a fluid property at one point in time and the same property of the same fluid parcel at a later time. It quantifies how long a fluid parcel retains its characteristics as it moves through a turbulent flow. This is distinct from Eulerian correlation, which measures correlation at fixed points.",
