  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006987",
  "term": "Linearization",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of approximating a nonlinear function or system with a linear one, usually around a specific operating point or equilibrium state. This technique simplifies complex atmospheric equations, making them more tractable for analysis and numerical solution. It involves using the first-order terms of a Taylor series expansion to represent the nonlinear behavior.",
