Damp haze

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004850

A type of atmospheric haze characterized by the presence of numerous microscopic water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air. This condition reduces visibility and often occurs when the relative humidity is high, but not yet at saturation for fog formation. It is distinct from dry haze, which consists primarily of solid particulate matter.
