  "term": "Theta-e",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "(or Equivalent Potential Temperature) - The temperature a parcel of air would have if\na) it was lifted until it\nbecame saturated,\nb) all water vapor was condensed out, and\nc) it was returned adiabatically (i.e., without\ntransfer of heat or mass) to a pressure of 1000 millibars.\nTheta-e, which typically is expressed in degrees\nKelvin, is directly related to the amount of heat present in an air parcel. Thus, it is useful in diagnosing\natmospheric instability.",
