  "term": "Ship routing",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of selecting an optimal path for a vessel to travel between two points, based on weather forecasts and oceanographic data. The objective is to minimize travel time, fuel consumption, and risk of damage from adverse sea conditions like high waves or strong winds. This practice relies on numerical weather prediction models to forecast wind, sea state, and currents along potential routes.",
