  "term": "Pressure pattern",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The spatial distribution of atmospheric pressure over a geographic area, depicted on a weather map using isobars. These patterns reveal the locations of high-pressure systems (anticyclones) and low-pressure systems (cyclones), which govern wind direction, wind speed, and weather conditions. The configuration of these patterns, including features like troughs and ridges, dictates the movement of air masses and the development of weather fronts.",
