What is the sea layer?

The sea layer is a thick weight of cold, humid air that accumulates over the surface of large water bodies, especially oceans. This is due to the inversion of the temperature, which means that the air near the ground is more cooler than warmer, while the warm air is pushing it down, which prevents its dispersion. This phenomenon is responsible for the fog that suffers from many coastal communities, and can also cause unusual phenomena, such as smoke, which more flattens than drifting up. In general, the air is saturated with moisture, causing it to become cold and dense, or cooling overnight and overcast. Warmer air on top of cold air back down and creates inversion. The weight of the warm air can also be carried through the colder air and capture it so that it is cooler and denser. If air becomes sufficiently saturated, it becomes obscured. These mashed air can also be relatively large and extends well into the atmosphere.

People in coastal communities are familiar with the sea layer in the form of ominous fog and clouds that hover on the horizon and are waiting for the opportunity to move to the shore. As the conditions on the coast cool down, the air carries inside and saturated with the coast with fog and sometimes light drizzle. Sometimes inland communities can be extremely warm and sunny; In fact, this captures cold air by creating a heat bubble.

Many communities that experience this type of weather also struggle with smog, particles that pollute air. SMOG can be trapped in colder air and the same temperature inversion THT causes this phenomenon to create a dense weight of smog. In some cases, smog may be so bad that citizens are warned that they should not walk outside, because the air quality is extremely poor. Temperature inversion can also occur in valleys or deep depression on the surface of the Earth, especially if they have largeWater features, and therefore Mexico City fights smog, even though it is in the middle of Mexico.

strong winds can break the sea layer, often by pushing it on the coast to distract it. The storm can also distract, as well as turbulence in the air column.
