Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008970

A bright, diffuse reflection of light from a snow-covered surface, visible in the sky above the horizon. This phenomenon occurs when sunlight or moonlight illuminates extensive snowfields, creating a luminous glow that can be seen from a distance. It serves as an indicator of snow-covered terrain, even when the ground itself is not directly visible.
