  "term": "Rossby number similarity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A theoretical framework used to describe the structure of the planetary boundary layer under neutral or near-neutral atmospheric stability. It relates surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture to large-scale atmospheric parameters by using the Rossby number and a stability parameter. The theory yields universal functions for the geostrophic drag coefficient and the cross-isobar angle of the surface wind as a function of surface roughness.",
