Dust horizon
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005190
A visible layer of suspended dust particles in the atmosphere that reduces visibility, often appearing as a hazy band near the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is common in arid and semi-arid regions, especially during periods of strong winds. The dust horizon can extend for hundreds of kilometers and significantly impact air quality and solar radiation.
