STD
2005/06/07		 AEROSOL_PARTICLE_TYPE HAZE Fine <DUST>, <<<SALT_HAZE>>>, <<<MIST>>>, <SMOKE>, or other solid <PARTICLE>s that are invisible to the naked eye but which diminish horizontal visibility and give the <ATMOSPHERE> an opalescent appearance and render distant <OBJECT>s indistinct and subdued in colour; haze. 2 IR [WMO182, H0170, "haze"] [JMCDM, "AEROSOL-ELEMENT-ANALYSIS-FORECAST element code":HZ and "AEROSOL-OBSERVATION particle type code":HZ]
STD
2005/06/07		 AEROSOL_PARTICLE_TYPE MARINE <AEROSOL>s that are generated in the marine environment by processes such as breaking <WATER_WAVE>s, and <<<OCEAN_SPRAY>>>. 3  
STD
2005/06/07		 AEROSOL_PARTICLE_TYPE MIST A <LOCALIZED_ATM_SUSPENSION> consisting of a visible aggregate of microscopic water droplets or wet hygroscopic <PARTICLE>s (of <<OUTSIDE_DIAMETER>> not less than 0,5 millimetre (0,02 inches)), reducing the horizontal <<VISIBILITY_DISTANCE>> at the <PLANETARY_SURFACE> to not less than 1 kilometre (5/8 miles); mist.

Group membership:

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

  • white - the entry is in the standard
  • yellow - the entry has been added to the register
  • pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
  • cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

  • F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
  • M - has Modifications
  • C - has Clarifications
