Sea smoke (arctic sea smoke) Evaporation fog or steam fog which is formed when water vapor is added to air which is much colder than the vapor's source; most commonly, when very cold air drifts across relatively warm water.
smoke"1. Foreign particulate matter in the atmosphere resulting from combustion processes; a type of lithometeor. When smoke is present, the disk of the sun at sunrise and sunset appears very red, and during the daytime has a reddish tinge.
SMOKE Small particles produced by combustion that are suspended in the air. 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.
Smoke (FU) A suspension in the air of small particles produced by combustion.
Smoke
(abbrev. K) Smoke in various concentrations can cause significant problems for people with respiratory ailments. It becomes a more universal hazard when visibilities are reduced to ?Ǭº mile or less.

smoke—A restriction to visibility resulting from combustion.
snow—Precipitation composed of white or translucent ice crystals, chiefly in complex branched hexagonal form.

Dense Smoke AdvisoryAn advisory for widespread or localized smoke reducing visibilities to regionally or locally defined limitations not to exceed 1 nautical mile.
See Arctic Sea Smoke for an example. SEA ICE Ice that is formed by the freezing of sea water. It forms first as small crystals, thickens into sludge, and coagulates into sheet ice, pancake ice, or ice floes of various shapes and sizes.
SmogOriginally smog meant a mixture of smoke and fog. Now, it means air that has restricted visibility due to pollution or pollution formed in the presence of sunlight--photochemical smog.
Mixing HeightsThe height to which a parcel of air, or a column of smoke, will rise, mix or disperse. A column of smoke will remain trapped below this height.
For example, this product may be used to inform users of radar equipment outages or special information clarifying interpretation of radar data originating from an unusual source which may be mistaken for precipitation (such as chaff drops, smoke ...
During this time, the light winds cannot "cleanse" the buildup of smoke, dust, gases, and other industrial air pollution.
smoke or fog).aerosol absorptionThe process in which radiation energy is retained by aerosols.
smoke Particles suspended in air after incomplete combustion of materials. soil carbon A major component of the terrestrial biosphere pool in the carbon cycle.
Particles may be both released from the earth's surface, such as dust or smoke, or formed in the atmosphere, as in rain or ice particles or sulfate aerosol. The particles in the atmosphere are usually defined in terms of their size, or diameter.
Lithometeor The general term for dry atmospheric suspensoids, including dust, haze, smoke, and sand. Compare to hydrometeor. Lithosphere The outer, solid portion of the earth; the crust of the earth.
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.

Many things can reflect small amounts of radar energy including clouds, smoke, and fog. Even atmospheric effects like inversion layers and the variation in air density introduced by temperature variation can produce echoes.

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.
(Particulate Matter) A major air pollutant consisting of tiny solid or liquid particles of soot, dust, smoke, fumes, and mists.
Smog - contraction for 'smoke fog'. An unpleasant fog in which smoke or other atmospheric pollutants (sea spray, dust) have an important part in causing the fog to thicken.
Snow ...
When there is a high concentration of particles in the atmosphere that are slightly larger than air molecules (like smoke, dust, and pollutants), shorter and intermediate wavelengths of light (violet, blue and yellow) are scattered away.
Smog- a mixture of smoke and fog; a natural fog contaminated by industrial pollutants.
Stable Air- air with little or no tendency to rise, that is usually accompanied by clear dry weather.
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.
Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels.
This National Weather Service product is issued when major buildups of air pollution, smoke, dust, or industrial gases are expected near the ground for a period of time.
CREPUSCULAR RAYS - Effect of sunlight shining through clouds, smoke, or haze where the rays and shadows become visible as lines or streaks through the sky. Commonly seen under breaks in clouds where the sun shines through into hazy air.
Smog- Air pollution caused by a mixture of smoke and fog.
Snow- Precipitation consisting of clumps of ice crystals.
Solar Energy- The energy produced by the sun.
aerosol: particulate matter put into the atmosphere. Examples are smoke and dust.
air mass: a body of air that has the same temperature, moisture, and stability properties.
Condensation Nuclei: Liquid or solid particles, such as those in smoke or dust, that provide a surface upon which water vapour can condense into cloud droplets or form ice crystals.
Think of how smoke fans out downwind from a chimney. The process is similar in a strong to severe storms.

Condensation Funnel A funnel-shaped cloud associated with rotation and consisting of condensed water droplets (as opposed to smoke, dust, debris, etc.). Compare with debris cloud.
Conductor Any substance or object which carries electricity.
found at ground level, the most obvious effect of this type of fog is a reduction in visibility, which may drop to as low as 10 feet in thick fog. If visibility is between 0.5 and 1.25 miles (1 and 2 km), the fog is known as mist. If any smoke is ...
particles of liquid water or ice, or both, suspended in the free air and usually not touching the ground. It may also include large particles of liquid water or ice and non-aqueous liquid or solid particles such as those present in fumes, smoke, ...
The use of tall smokestacks to reduce local pollution has contributed to the spread of acid rain by releasing gases into regional atmospheric circulation.
