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 1, English, - mixed%20layer%20height
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The mixing height is the depth of the unstable air in the boundary layer and is used for forecasting smoke or pollutant trajectories. 14, record 1, 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 1, French, - hauteur%20de%20la%20couche%20de%20m%C3%A9lange

La «hauteur» est une dimension d'un corps observé à la verticale (i.e. de bas en haut); l'«épaisseur» lorsque regardée à la verticale peut parfois être considérée comme la «hauteur». 3, record 1, French, - hauteur%20de%20la%20couche%20de%20m%C3%A9lange
