  "term": "Precipitation duration",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The total length of time that precipitation falls at a given location during a specific period. This measurement is distinct from the amount of precipitation, as light rain over a long period can have a greater duration than a heavy, short-lived downpour. It is often recorded in hours and minutes for individual events or as an accumulated total over days or months.",
