  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008580",
  "term": "Rip",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A strong, narrow channel of water moving swiftly away from the shore, often as a result of wave and wind action. Rip currents form when breaking waves push water towards the land, and this water finds a channel of least resistance to flow back out to sea. While primarily an oceanographic feature, their formation and intensity are directly influenced by meteorological conditions such as wind-driven waves and storm surge.",
