Sea of ​​fog began to appear around the Grand Canyon, Arizona State, USA, from November 29.

Thick fogs surround the ravines when viewed from above.

According to representatives of the Grand Canyon National Park, the dense sea of ​​fog is explained by the special weather phenomenon called inverse temperature created.This phenomenon only occurs every few years and usually occurs in the winter.

When the phenomenon of temperature inversion occurs, the above warm air layers become a giant cap that compresses the cold air layer inside the ravines below.The whole air is polluted and the fog layers are kept close to the ground and cannot fly high.

As its name suggests, when the temperature inversion occurs, the upper air layer has a warmer temperature.While following normal rules, the higher the temperature, the lower the temperature.

According to the National Weather Center, the phenomenon of weather reversal can occur 1-2 times a year and usually only occurs in a few places in the small ravines of the Grand Canyon.However, the dense sea fog phenomenon surrounding the entire gorge is very rare.

The inverse phenomenon completely appeared in the Grand Canyon, which lasted for 2 days, especially on fine weather days and clear blue sky, not cloudy, which was once a 10-year phenomenon.

Most climbers go to the Grand Canyon to see the Colorado River below the ravine.However, observing this unique and rare weather phenomenon has made mountaineers feel very excited.

The Grand Canyon is cut by the Colorado River to create a ravine with a length of 446km, width from 0.4 to 24km and a depth of about 1.6km.The Grand Canyon is located almost in the Grand Canyon National Park.This is a national park put into operation by the US since 1999.
