  "term": "Probability paper",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of graph paper with a specially scaled axis designed so that a cumulative distribution function for a specific probability distribution will plot as a straight line. By plotting observed data points on this paper, one can visually assess how well the data fits the theoretical distribution, such as a normal or log-normal distribution. The straightness of the plotted line provides a graphical test of the goodness of fit for the chosen probability model.",
