  "term": "Lagrangian timescale",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A measure of the characteristic time over which a fluid parcel's velocity remains correlated with its initial velocity. It quantifies the persistence of a fluid parcel's motion before it is significantly altered by turbulent eddies or other forces. This timescale is often used in studies of atmospheric dispersion and turbulent diffusion.",
