  "term": "Potential",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A scalar quantity representing the amount of work required to move a unit mass or charge from a reference point to a specific location within a force field. In meteorology, it often relates to gravitational potential energy or electrical potential. Geopotential, for instance, is a measure of potential energy per unit mass at a given height in the atmosphere.",
