  "term": "Pulse compression",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A signal processing technique applied in radar systems to achieve high range resolution while maintaining a long pulse duration for increased energy transmission. It involves modulating a long transmitted pulse and then correlating the received echo with the transmitted modulation. This process effectively converts a long pulse into a short, high-power pulse for better target discrimination.",
