  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006849",
  "term": "Lambert conic projection",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A map projection that uses a cone as the developable surface, where parallels are concentric arcs and meridians are straight lines radiating from a common center. It is often used for mapping mid-latitude regions because it preserves angles (conformal) and minimizes distortion over large areas. This projection is widely used for aeronautical charts.",
