  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009969",
  "term": "Velocity pressure",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The dynamic pressure exerted by a moving fluid, representing the kinetic energy per unit volume. It is calculated as one-half the fluid density multiplied by the square of its velocity. In meteorology, velocity pressure is a factor in determining wind loads on buildings and other structures, and it is measured in units of Pascals or pounds per square foot.",
