  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009857",
  "term": "Two-dimensional model",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A simplified representation of atmospheric or oceanic processes that considers variations in only two spatial dimensions, typically horizontal or vertical. These models are computationally less intensive than three-dimensional models and are useful for studying specific phenomena or for initial conceptual understanding. Examples include cross-sectional models of fronts or simplified global circulation models.",
