  "term": "Transilient turbulence theory",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A framework for modeling turbulent mixing in a fluid that considers nonlocal transport between discrete grid points. It uses a matrix to represent the probability of fluid from one vertical level mixing with fluid at any other level in a single timestep. This approach contrasts with traditional K-theory, which only models mixing between adjacent levels based on a local gradient.",
