  "term": "Simple harmonic wave",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A wave whose displacement at any point varies sinusoidally with time, and whose spatial variation is also sinusoidal. It is the simplest form of wave motion, characterized by a single frequency, amplitude, and wavelength. Many complex atmospheric waves can be analyzed as a superposition of simple harmonic waves.",
