Пропитанный водой снег, который при ударе ступней о землю разбрызгивается в разные стороны; удельный вес – от 0,5 до 0,8.Примечание. Сочетание льда, снега и/или стоячей воды, особенно, когда идёт дождь, дождь со снегом или снег, может образовывать субстанции с удельным весом более 0,8. Эти субстанции из-за высокого содержания воды/льда могут иметь скорее прозрачный, чем мутный вид, и при более высоком удельном весе будут легко отличимы от слякоти.Water-saturated snow which with a heel-and-toe slap-down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter; specific gravity: 0.5 up to 0.8.Note.— Combinations of ice, snow and/or standing water may, especially when rain, rain and snow, or snow is falling, produce substances with specific gravities in excess of 0.8. These substances, due to their high water/ice content, will have a transparent rather than a cloudy appearance and, at the higher specific gravities, will be readily distinguishable from slush.(AN 14/I; PANS-ATM)Русско-английский словарь международной организации гражданской авиации > слякоть
