On weather nouns

The term smog meteorology refers to the turbidity caused by a large number of particles such as smoke and dust suspended for unknown reasons. The core substance of smog is dust particles suspended in the air, which are called aerosol particles in meteorology.

Haze is also called haze. Particles such as dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and organic hydrocarbons in the air can also make the atmosphere turbid, blur the vision and worsen the visibility. If the horizontal visibility is less than 65,438+00,000 meters, the visual distance obstacle caused by the aerosol system composed of non-aquatic products is called haze or dust haze, and the Hong Kong Observatory calls it haze. The difference between haze and fog is that the relative humidity is small when haze occurs, but it is saturated in fog (if there are a large number of condensation nuclei, the relative humidity may not reach 100%, and saturation may occur). Generally speaking, the visibility deterioration caused by atmospheric haze blurred vision is caused by haze when the relative humidity is less than 80%, while the visibility deterioration caused by atmospheric haze blurred vision is caused by fog when the relative humidity is more than 90%. The visibility deterioration caused by atmospheric haze blurred vision is caused by a mixture of haze and fog when the relative humidity is between 80 and 90%, but its main component is haze. The thickness of haze is relatively thick, which can reach about 1-3 km. Haze is different from fog and clouds, and there is no obvious boundary between haze and clear sky. Smog particles are evenly distributed, and the particle size is relatively small, ranging from 0.00 1 micron to 10 micron, with an average diameter of about 1-2 micron. Floating particles are invisible to the naked eye. Because the smog is composed of dust, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other particles, the longer the scattering wavelength, the more the light ratio, so the smog looks yellow or orange-gray.
