  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009292",
  "term": "Stratified fluid",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A fluid that exhibits distinct layers with varying densities, typically arranged such that denser fluid lies beneath less dense fluid. This density layering creates a stable configuration that resists vertical motion and mixing. The Earth's atmosphere and oceans are examples of naturally stratified fluids, influencing wave propagation and current dynamics.",
