  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006992",
  "term": "Liquid water loading",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The weight of liquid water carried in an air parcel, which reduces its buoyancy by an amount equal to gravity times the liquid water mixing ratio. It offsets part of the thermal buoyancy of rising air in convective clouds and adds to the downward push of precipitation-laden downdrafts, such as those in a downburst.",
