5. droplets to reduce effects of evaporation SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud Surface inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning Their presence can be indicated by ground fog however if fog is not present inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud under low wind conditions indicates a surface inversion while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind However it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT Thoroughly clean all traces of VELPAR L from application equipment immediately after use Flush the tank pump hoses and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens clean these parts separately STORAGE AND DISPOSAL STORAGE
