  "term": "Urban-rural circulation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A localized atmospheric circulation pattern driven by temperature differences between urban areas and surrounding rural environments, often referred to as the urban heat island effect. Warmer urban air rises, creating a low-pressure area that draws in cooler air from rural areas, leading to a convergent flow. This circulation can influence local weather, including precipitation patterns.",
