  "term": "Thermosteric anomaly",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The deviation of the specific volume of seawater from a reference value, caused by changes in temperature. It quantifies the expansion or contraction of water due to thermal variations, which influences ocean circulation and sea level. This anomaly is a key component in calculating dynamic height in oceanography.",
