  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008788",
  "term": "Semigeostrophic equations",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A set of simplified equations of motion used in atmospheric dynamics that retain some ageostrophic effects while filtering out fast-moving waves like sound and gravity waves. These equations are derived by scaling the primitive equations and are particularly useful for studying mesoscale atmospheric phenomena. They provide a balance between complexity and computational efficiency.",
