  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009724",
  "term": "Total vorticity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The sum of the relative vorticity and the planetary vorticity at a given point in the atmosphere. Relative vorticity describes the local rotation of a fluid parcel with respect to the Earth's surface, while planetary vorticity accounts for the rotation of the Earth itself. Conservation of total vorticity is a fundamental principle in large-scale atmospheric dynamics.",
