  "id": "MLC-T-MET-007926",
  "term": "Photopolarimeter",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures both the intensity and the polarization state of light. It combines the functions of a photometer and a polarimeter to characterize electromagnetic radiation more completely. In atmospheric science, photopolarimeters are used to study the properties of aerosols and clouds by analyzing how they scatter and polarize sunlight, providing insights into their composition and size distribution.",
