  "id": "MLC-T-MET-007160",
  "term": "Mean kinetic energy",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The average kinetic energy of the molecules within a substance, which is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. In atmospheric science, this relates to the internal energy of air parcels and is a measure of the intensity of molecular motion. It is a key concept in thermodynamics and atmospheric dynamics.",
