English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Layer of haze, generally bounded at the top by an inversion of temperature and often extending downwards to the earth’s surface.

CONT

Extensive haze layers aloft. We sampled a haze layer just above stratocumulus. There were multiple haze layers, as much as we ever saw in the 1995 or this field project. I think this is about as much haze aloft as we will ever see in the Arctic.

DEF

Nappe de brume, généralement limitée à son sommet par une inversion de température et s'étendant vers le bas, fréquemment jusqu'au sol.
