  "term": "Momentum transfer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process by which momentum is exchanged between different parts of a fluid or between a fluid and a solid surface. In the atmosphere, this occurs through molecular diffusion, turbulent eddies, and pressure gradients, influencing wind profiles and atmospheric circulation. It is a key mechanism in the interaction between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface.",
