  "term": "Langmuir probe",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A diagnostic tool used to measure plasma properties, such as electron density, electron temperature, and plasma potential. It consists of a small electrode inserted into a plasma, where its current-voltage characteristic curve is analyzed. This instrument is employed in laboratory plasma experiments and sometimes on spacecraft to study the ionosphere and magnetosphere.",
