  "term": "Pulse coding",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A technique employed in radar systems where the transmitted radar pulse is modulated with a specific code sequence. This modulation allows for improved range resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, particularly in meteorological applications. Different coding schemes, such as Barker codes or linear frequency modulation, are used depending on the desired radar performance characteristics.",
