  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008078",
  "term": "Potential drop",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The difference in electrical potential between two points in the atmosphere, often measured vertically from the ground upwards. This gradient drives the flow of charge and is a key factor in atmospheric electricity and lightning formation. The fair-weather atmospheric potential gradient near the surface is approximately 100-150 volts per meter.",
