  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A graphical representation of how an atmospheric property changes with a change in another variable, most often altitude. A vertical profile, for instance, shows the distribution of temperature, humidity, or wind as a function of height, creating a snapshot of the atmospheric column. Data for these profiles are collected by instruments such as radiosondes, dropsondes, or remote sensing systems like lidar and radar wind profilers.",
