  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009616",
  "term": "Thermo-osmosis",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The movement of a fluid, such as water or water vapor, through a porous medium or membrane driven by a temperature gradient. The flow generally proceeds from a colder region to a warmer region, a phenomenon distinct from diffusion driven by concentration gradients. This process can influence moisture transport in soils and other porous materials within the Earth's climate system.",
