  "term": "Unsharp masking",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An image processing technique applied to meteorological satellite or radar data to accentuate fine details and edges. The process involves creating a blurred version of the original image and subtracting a fraction of it from the original, which enhances high-frequency components like cloud boundaries or small convective cells. This method makes subtle features more visible for analysis by forecasters, aiding in the identification of developing weather phenomena.",
