  "term": "Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A mathematical model describing the distribution of wave energy across different frequencies in a fully developed wind sea. It provides a theoretical representation of the wave spectrum when the wind has blown uniformly over a large fetch for a sufficient duration. This spectrum is widely used in oceanography and coastal engineering to characterize sea state and predict wave conditions, with peak frequencies typically ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 Hz.",
