  "term": "Sensible heat flow",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The transfer of thermal energy between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere through conduction and convection, resulting in a change in temperature of the air or surface. This process directly warms or cools the air without a phase change of water. It is a major component of the Earth's energy budget, often measured in watts per square meter.",
