  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010769",
  "term": "Solitary wave",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A self-reinforcing wave packet that maintains its shape while propagating at a constant velocity, often observed in fluids. These waves, also known as solitons, are stable structures that can travel long distances without dispersing. In the atmosphere, they can manifest as undular bores or atmospheric gravity waves, sometimes associated with severe weather.",
