  "term": "Similarity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A concept in fluid dynamics and atmospheric modeling where two different flow systems exhibit similar behavior when certain dimensionless parameters are equal. This allows for the scaling of experimental results from laboratory models to full-scale atmospheric phenomena. Key parameters include the Reynolds number and Richardson number.",
