Diagnóstico : Mancha ocular, mancha en ojo, mancha anillada del maíz o “eyespot”, ocasionada por Kabatiella zeae Narita & Y. Hiratsuka Syn. Aureobasidium zeae(Narita & Y. Hiratsuka) Dingley. Sintomatología : Las hojas se caracterizaban por poseer lesiones translucidas, circulares a ovales(1–5 mm de diámetro) con un halo amarillento; algunas manchas pueden coalescer formando lesiones más grandes, oscuras constituyendo grandes áreas necróticas. Esto produce el secado anticipado de las hojas. Inicialmente las lesiones se observan de tipo acuoso, luego toman un color castaño claro en el centro, rodeada por un anillo de color marrón, púrpura o negro con un halo amarillo y apariencia de un ojo. Los síntomas también se observaron en vainas foliares, tallos y espigas. 1, record 2, Spanish, - mancha%20ocular%20del%20ma%C3%ADz

It is produced by the refraction of light through the 90° prisms of ice crystals, having entered through the horizontal bases and passed out through the vertical sides. Normally, the crystals are large, oriented, hexagonal plates. The circumzenithal arc is the high sky counterpart of the circumhorizontal arc. The circumhorizontal arc is low in the sky when the sun is high (above 58° elevation); the circumzenithal arc is high in the sky when the sun is low (below 32° elevation). The majority of circumzenithal arcs are short-lived, short in length and faint or moderately bright. However, very colorful circumhorizontal arcs can occur when the refraction is close to the minimum angle of deviation, corresponding to a solar elevation angle of about 22°. 3, record 7, English, - circumzenithal%20arc

L'arc circumzénithal est moins fréquent, car il n'apparaît que si la hauteur du soleil au-dessus de l'horizon est inférieure à 32,2 degrés. Cet arc est formé quand la lumière solaire entre dans le cristal par la face horizontale supérieure et en ressort par une face latérale verticale. Quand le soleil est au-dessus de 32,2 degrés, la lumière est entièrement réfléchie à l'intérieur du cristal; c'est pourquoi on ne voit cet arc que lorsque le Soleil est relativement bas sur l'horizon. À 32,2 degrés, la lumière ressort du cristal verticalement vers le bas; on verra alors l'arc circumzénithal comme un point éclatant au zénith. À mesure que le soleil descend (se couche), le point se déploie pour former un arc de cercle coloré et centré au zénith face au soleil. Pour être bien technique, lorsque le soleil est à 22,1 degrés, l'éclat de l'arc est à son maximum et il est tangent au grand halo. 3, record 7, French, - arc%20circumz%C3%A9nithal

Lowitz arcs are short arcs showing pale colours, which extend diagonally upward and downward from the parhelia to the 22°-halo. They are visible at just very few occasions. The halo is called Lowitz Arc because Thomas Lowitz was the first who observed and described these arcs in 1794 at St. Petersburg. 5, record 8, English, - arcs%20of%20Lowitz

The arcs of Lowitz are explained by refraction through the 60° prism of hexagonal plate ice crystals, oscillating as they descend. The principal axis of the plate must oscillate about the vertical by less than 30° to produce the pattern customarily called Lowitz arcs; larger oscillations lead to more complex arcs spreading far above and below the 22° parhelia and halo. 6, record 8, English, - arcs%20of%20Lowitz

A halo phenomenon consisting of a coloured arc, red on its upper margin; it extends for about 90° parallel to the horizon and lies about 46° below the Sun [or Moon]. 2, record 10, English, - circumhorizontal%20arc
Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is produced by the refraction of light through the 90° prisms of ice crystals, having entered through the vertical sides and passing out through the horizontal bases. Normally, the crystals are large, oriented, hexagonal plates. The circumhorizontal arc is the low sky counterpart of circumzenithal arc. The circumhorizontal arc is low in the sky when the sun is high (above 58° elevation); the circumzenithal arc is high in the sky when the sun is low (below 32° elevation). The most colorful circumhorizontal arcs occur when the refraction is close to the minimum angle of deviation, and this corresponds to a solar elevation angle of about 68°. In the midlatitudes, the sun only climbs to that elevation for a few hours mid day around the summer solstice. 3, record 10, English, - circumhorizontal%20arc
