Haze causes issues in the area of terrestrial photography and imaging, where the penetration of large amounts of dense atmosphere may be necessary to image distant subjects. This results in the visual effect of a loss of contrast in the subject, due to the effect of light scattering and reflection through the haze particles .
Transboundary haze in Southeast Asia has been recorded since 1972 [6] with the 1997 and 2015 events being particularly severe. [7] Industrial-scale slash-and-burn practices to clear land for agricultural purposes are a major cause of the haze, particularly for palm oil and pulpwood production in the region.
The opacity to sunlight of this organic haze on Titan is determined primarily by the haze production rate. If haze production increases, opacity of the haze increases, resulting in more cooling of the surface temperature. [3] Additionally, the presence of this organic haze is the cause of the temperature inversion in Titan's stratosphere. [4]
An outbreak of wildfires in the western region of Canada could cause hazy conditions and poor air quality for parts of the U.S. this week.. Though much more subdued than during last year’s ...
A NASA satellite image of the haze on 19 June 2013. The extent of the haze as of 19 June 2013. [1] The extent of the haze as of 23 June 2013. [1]The 2013 Southeast Asian haze was a haze crisis that affected several countries in Southeast Asia, including Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore [2] and Southern Thailand, mainly during June and July 2013.
In parts of South and Middle Georgia, residents woke up this morning to hazy skies — a result of a renewed blanketing of the Southeast by Canadian wildfire smoke.
The composition of particulate matter that generally causes visual effects, haze, consists of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, mineral dust, and organic matter. The particles are hygroscopic due to the presence of sulfur, and SO 2 is converted to sulfate when high humidity and low temperatures are present.
