Mixing Layer Depth ... The mixing layer is the atmospheric zone near the surface where pollutants disperse rapidly. The depth of this layer depends on the temperature and on the stability of the atmosphere at low levels. Lower values of mixing layer depth indicate that the pollutants will be mixed in a smaller volume of air. 8, record 5, English, - mixed%20layer%20height

Épaisseur de la couche de mélange [...] La couche de mélange est la portion de l'atmosphère près de la surface où les polluants se dispersent rapidement. L'épaisseur de cette couche dépend de la température et de la stabilité de l'atmosphère dans les bas niveaux. De faibles valeurs d'épaisseur de la couche de mélange signifient que les polluants seront dilués dans un volume d'air moindre. 2, record 5, French, - hauteur%20de%20la%20couche%20de%20m%C3%A9lange
