iblåsmikrostillstånd
iblåsmikrostillstånd, also known as "ice fog microstate" in English, refers to a specific meteorological phenomenon characterized by the presence of extremely fine ice crystals suspended in the air, creating a dense, opaque fog. This condition typically occurs in cold, humid environments, particularly in polar regions, high-altitude areas, or during winter months in temperate climates. The term originates from Swedish, where "iblås" means "ice wind" and "mikrostillstånd" translates to "microstate" or "fine state," describing the microscopic nature of the suspended particles.
The formation of iblåsmikrostillstånd involves the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets into ice crystals upon
Unlike traditional fog, which consists of liquid water droplets, iblåsmikrostillstånd poses unique challenges for aviation, road
While iblåsmikrostillstånd is relatively rare compared to other fog types, it is a well-documented phenomenon in
