  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009156",
  "term": "Splitting convective storm",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A thunderstorm that divides into two distinct cells, a left-moving and a right-moving storm, as it propagates. This phenomenon occurs when vertical wind shear interacts with the storm's updraft, causing it to rotate and split. The right-moving storm is usually stronger and can produce severe weather, including tornadoes.",
