Haze Fine dust or salt particles dispersed through a portion of the atmosphere; a type of lithometeor.

 


Haze in Southeast Asia
Haze is a regular problem in Southeast Asia caused by land and forest fires in Indonesia, especially Sumatra and Kalimantan. Those fires mainly affect Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Arctic haze Haze in Arctic regions which reduces horizontal and slant visibility and which may extend to a height of about 10 km. It appears blue-grey when viewed away from the Sun, and reddish-brown toward it.

haze"Particles suspended in air, reducing visibility by scattering light; often a mixture of aerosols and photochemical smog. Many aerosols increase in size with increasing relative humidity due to deliquescence, drastically decreasing visibility.

Haze (HZ) A concentration of salt particles or other dry particles not readily classified as dust or other phenomenon. Occurs in stable air usually only a few thousand feet thick, but may extend as high as 15,000 feet.

HAZE
A suspension of fine dust and/or smoke particles in the air. Invisible to the naked eye, the particles reduce visibility by being sufficiently numerous to give the air an opalescent appearance.

Haze
Fine dry or wet dust or salt particles dispersed through a part of the atmosphere. Individually, these are not visible, but cumulatively they diminish visibility.

Haze
(abbrev. HZ)- An aggregation in the atmosphere of very fine, widely dispersed, solid or liquid particles, or both, giving the air an opalescent appearance that subdues colors.

haze: a concentration near the surface of the Earth, of fine particles (wet or dry dust, salt, etc.,) .

HAZE: Fine dry or wet dust or salt particles in the air that reduce visibility.
HIGH: The center of an area of high pressure, usually accompanied by anticyclonic and outward wind flow. Also known as an anticyclone.

Haze: A suspension of small particles in the air, which reduces visibility by scattering light.
Heat: A form of energy transferred between systems because of the temperature differences between them.

Haze - a mixture of particles in the air reducing visibility.
Humidity - relative humidity, usually. A way of expressing moisture content in the air.

Haze- fine dry or wet dust particles suspended in the that reduce visibility.

Haze
Suspension in the atmosphere of extremely small, dry particles which are invisible to the naked eye but near enough to give the sky an opalescent appearance.

HAZE (H)- Dust, salt and other particles that restricts horizontal visibility.

Haze Fine dry or wet particles of dust, salt, or other impurities that can concentrate in a layer next to the Earth when air is stable.
Heat Balance The equilibrium existing between the radiation received and emitted by a planetary system.

Layered Haze
Haze produced when air pollution from multiple line, area or point sources is transported long distances to form distinguishable layers of discoloration in a stable atmosphere.

Haze: Obstruction of visibility in the superficial layers of the atmosphere, caused by very small solid and non-aqueous particles in suspension. It gives the air an opalescent appearance.

HAZE: Fine dust particles present in a portion of the atmosphere.
HEAT ADVISORY: Issued when the Heat Index is expected to exceed 105 during the day and 80 during the night for at least two consecutive days.

Haze- Particles or fine dust suspended in the air that produce limited visibility.
Heat Index- This index is a measure of the contribution that high humidity makes with abnormally high temperatures in reducing the body's ability to cool itself.

Haze - Tiny particles of dust, smoke, salt or pollution droplets that are scattered through the air. The particles are too small to be seen or felt individually, but they diminish visibility.

Haze - Fine dust or salt particles in the air that reduce visibility.
Heat Advisory - Issued within 12 hours of the onset of the following conditions: heat index of at least 105 degrees but less than 115 degrees for less than 3hours per day.

GRUNGE - Haze or low clouds surrounding a region of storms which limits visibility to storm chasers. Sometimes this term is used to describe low clouds, drizzle, and fog common when there is no good storms to chase.

Arctic haze A persistent winter diffuse layer in the Arctic atmosphere whose origin may be related to long-range transport of midlatitude continental man-made pollutants.

See ice-crystal haze, arctic mist.Ice GorgeIn hydrologic terms, the gorge or opening left in a jam after it has broken.Ice JamIn hydrologic terms, a stationary accumulation that restricts or blocks streamflow.

Fog is easily distinguished from haze by its higher relative humidity (near 100%, having physiologically appreciable dampness) and gray color. Haze does not contain activated droplets larger than the critical size according to Köhler theory.

Sky: "Why The Sky Is "ORANGE" "YELLOW" "BROWN":Many times we see the sky as "ORANGE" "YELLOW" "BROWN": This is called "HAZE" produced by pollution of either smoke, dust, dirt, CO2.

Clear: Free from cloud, fog, mist or dust haze.
Sunny: Little chance of the sun being obscured by cloud.

Clear - skies free from cloud, fog, mist, dust or haze.
Sunny - little chance of the sun being obscured by cloud.

Smaze Not used much anymore, this used to be a more common term used in describing a weather condition that was a combination of smoke and haze, or a very light smoke condition that resembled haze.

A transition to haze may occur when the smoke particles have traveled great distance (25 to 100 miles or more), and when the larger particles have settled out. The remaining particles become widely scattered through the atmosphere.

Contrast is enhanced by haze, dust, or mist. These rays are more likely to be seen in the late afternoon, as clouds come between the sun and the observer. A similar effect occurs when the sun shines though a break in a layer of clouds.

On the east side of the oceans more days with haze occur, while on the western side of the ocean more days with rain are reported.

Ground clutter may hide or confuse precipitation echoes near the radar antenna.
