  "term": "Relative momentum",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The momentum of an object or fluid parcel as observed from a moving or rotating frame of reference. It differs from absolute momentum, which is measured from a stationary, inertial frame. In atmospheric science, relative momentum is often considered in the context of the Earth's rotating coordinate system, influencing the apparent forces acting on air parcels.",
