Properties:

Properties Definition Type
DUST Earth or other solid matter in a minute and fine state of subdivision, so that the particles are small and light enough to be easily raised and carried in a cloud by the wind; any substance comminuted or pulverized; powder.

enum value

VOLCANIC_ASH Extremely fine particles of pulverized rock, the composition of which, generally speaking, is comprised predominantly of silica (> 50 per cent), together with smaller amounts of the oxides of aluminium, iron, calcium and sodium.

enum value

UNIDENTIFIED That has not been identified; of which the identity has not been established.

enum value

SPRAY Ensemble of water droplets torn by the wind from the surface of an extensive body of water, generally from the wave crests, and carried up a short distance into the air.

enum value

SMOKE Suspension in the atmosphere of small particles produced by combustion.

enum value

SAND A material consisting of comminuted fragments and water-worn particles of rocks (mainly silicious) finer than those of which gravel is composed.

enum value

MIST Suspension in the air of microscopic water droplets or wet hygroscopic particles which reduce the visibility at the Earth's surface.

enum value

HAZE Suspension in the atmosphere of extremely small, dry particles which are invisible to the naked eye but numerous enough to give the sky an opalescent appearance.

enum value

FOG A suspension of very small, usually microscopic water droplets in the air, reducing visibility at the Earth's surface.
