  "term": "Streamwise vorticity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The component of the vorticity vector that is aligned with the local velocity vector of a fluid flow. It indicates the rotation of the fluid about an axis parallel to its direction of motion. This quantity is particularly relevant in the study of turbulent flows and vortex dynamics in the atmosphere.",
