  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008312",
  "term": "Radiative transfer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The physical process by which electromagnetic radiation propagates through a medium, involving absorption, emission, and scattering by the medium's constituents. This process governs how energy is transported through the atmosphere and oceans, influencing temperature profiles and climate. The equation of radiative transfer describes the change in radiance along a path.",
