  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006972",
  "term": "Line integral",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A mathematical operation that integrates a scalar or vector field along a given curve or path. In meteorology, line integrals are used to calculate quantities such as circulation around a closed loop or the work done by a force along a trajectory. For instance, the circulation of wind velocity around a storm provides insight into its rotational intensity.",
