  "term": "Physical climatology",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The branch of climatology that focuses on the physical processes governing the Earth's climate system, including radiative transfer, atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, and the interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. It seeks to explain climate phenomena based on fundamental physical laws. This field uses mathematical models and observational data to understand past, present, and future climate states.",
