Industry:Weather
A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth, formed on exposed objects by the freezing of a film of supercooled water deposited by rain, drizzle, fog, or possibly condensed from supercooled water vapor. Glaze is denser, harder, and more transparent than either rime or hoarfrost. Its density may be as high as 0. 8 or 0. 9 g cm−3. Factors that favor glaze formation are large drop size, rapid accretion, slight supercooling, and slow dissipation of heat of fusion. The opposite effects favor rime formation. The accretion of glaze on terrestrial objects constitutes an ice storm; as a type of aircraft icing it is called clear ice. Glaze, as well as rime, may form on ice particles in the atmosphere. Ordinary hail is composed entirely (or nearly so) of glaze; the alternating clear and opaque layers of some hailstones represent glaze and rime, deposited under varying conditions around the growing hailstone. Compare rime, rime ice, hard rime, soft rime.

Industry:Weather
The movement of gas species from the air into the water column, or vice versa. Physical mechanisms by which this can occur include molecular diffusion, turbulent diffusion and eddy motion in both the air and the water column, the evaporation of spray, and the dissolution of air bubbles in water.
