  "id": "MLC-T-MET-007398",
  "term": "Monochromatic radiation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Electromagnetic radiation characterized by a single, specific wavelength or a very narrow range of wavelengths. This type of radiation is an idealization, as all real sources emit over a finite spectral band. It is used in atmospheric spectroscopy to analyze the absorption and emission properties of atmospheric constituents at precise wavelengths.",
