  "id": "MLC-T-MET-002950",
  "term": "V Notch",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A radar reflectivity signature seen as a V-shaped notch in the downwind part of a thunderstorm echo. The V-notch often is seen on supercells, and is thought to be a sign of diverging flow around the main storm updraft (and hence a very strong updraft). This term should not be confused with inflow notch or with enhanced V, although the latter is believed to form by a similar process.",
