Slablike motion

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008929",
  "term": "Slablike motion",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A conceptual model of fluid motion where a layer or parcel of air moves horizontally as a single, coherent unit without internal deformation or vertical motion. This simplification is used in certain theoretical treatments of atmospheric dynamics, such as analyzing the movement of an air mass or a frontal zone. The concept assumes that all points within the slab have the same horizontal velocity.",
