  "id": "MLC-T-MET-002616",
  "term": "stability index",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The overall stability or instability of a sounding is sometimes conveniently expressed in the form of a single numerical value. Used alone, it can be quite misleading, and at times, is apt to be worthless. The greatest value of an index lies in alerting the forecaster to those soundings which should be examined more closely.",
