  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008247",
  "term": "Quasigeostrophic theory",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A theoretical framework in atmospheric and oceanic dynamics that describes large-scale, slow-evolving motions using the quasigeostrophic approximation. This theory simplifies the full equations of motion by filtering out high-frequency gravity waves. It provides a powerful tool for understanding the formation and evolution of synoptic weather systems and planetary waves.",
