  "term": "Water equivalent of snow",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The depth of liquid water that would be produced if a specific amount of snow were completely melted. This value is determined by measuring the snow depth and its density, as fresh snow has a much lower density than old or compacted snow. It is a key metric for assessing water resources stored in snowpacks and for flood prediction.",
