  "term": "Optical scattering probe",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures the properties of atmospheric particles by analyzing the light scattered by them. It directs a laser beam through a sample volume and detects the scattered light at specific angles. These probes are used to determine particle size distributions and concentrations in aerosols and clouds.",
