  "term": "Rotational",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Describing a flow field where the curl of the velocity vector is non-zero, indicating the presence of local angular momentum or vorticity. In meteorology, rotational flows are common in phenomena like cyclones, anticyclones, and tornadoes. The magnitude of the rotational component is directly related to the vorticity of the fluid parcel.",
