  "term": "Specular reflection",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The reflection of light or other waves from a smooth surface, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This type of reflection results in a clear, mirror-like image. In atmospheric optics, specular reflection can occur from calm water surfaces or ice crystals, contributing to phenomena like sun glint.",
