  "term": "Turbidity maximum",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A zone within an estuary or river where the concentration of suspended sediment is highest. This phenomenon results from the interaction of freshwater and saltwater flows, which creates a region of reduced current velocity and enhanced flocculation of fine particles. The turbidity maximum is dynamic and can shift with tidal cycles and river discharge.",
