  "term": "Sand haze",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A suspension of fine sand particles in the atmosphere, reducing visibility over a wide area. This phenomenon occurs when strong winds lift loose sand from arid or semi-arid regions and transport it over considerable distances. Unlike a sandstorm, sand haze involves smaller particles and less severe visibility reduction, often appearing as a diffuse, yellowish or brownish veil.",
