  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008687",
  "term": "Scattered power",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The portion of incident electromagnetic radiation that is redirected by particles in a medium, such as the atmosphere. This power is distributed over different angles and wavelengths, depending on the properties of the scattering particles and the incident radiation. It is a key component in remote sensing applications, where it is measured by instruments like lidar and radar.",
