  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010629",
  "term": "Mountain-plains wind systems",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Regional wind patterns that develop due to the differential heating and cooling between elevated mountain ranges and adjacent lower-lying plains. These systems are driven by pressure gradients created by temperature differences. They often exhibit a diurnal cycle, with winds blowing from the plains to the mountains during the day and reversing at night.",
