  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008690",
  "term": "Scattering coefficient",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A quantitative measure of the amount of radiation scattered by a medium per unit path length. It describes the probability that a photon will be scattered as it travels through a given distance in the atmosphere. This coefficient is wavelength-dependent and is typically expressed in units of inverse length, such as per meter or per kilometer.",
