  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009472",
  "term": "Synoptic climatology",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A field of study that examines the relationship between atmospheric circulation patterns and the resulting weather conditions or climate over a specific area. It bridges the gap between dynamic meteorology, which focuses on short-term weather, and traditional climatology, which deals with long-term averages. This approach classifies daily weather maps into a limited number of circulation types to analyze their frequency and associated surface climate.",
