  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010619",
  "term": "Meteotsunami",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A tsunami-like wave generated by rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, often associated with fast-moving weather systems like squall lines or atmospheric gravity waves. These meteorological disturbances can create a pressure perturbation that propagates across a body of water, resonating with the water depth to amplify the wave. They are most common in enclosed or semi-enclosed basins, such as the Great Lakes or the Mediterranean Sea.",
