Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Shown is a picture of a Bermuda grass lawn (Cynodon dactylon) taken with a thermal imaging camera at around 8pm well after sunset. Notice the characteristic pattern of warm and cold regions. The spatial scale of the pattern is ≈20cm or 10in.

For the underlying process, see Ackerson, B.J., Beier, R.A. & Martin, D.L. Ground level air convection produces frost damage patterns in turfgrass. Int J Biometeorol 59, 1655–1665 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00484-015-0972-3

Picture taken in Leeland, North Carolina, USA on Dec 24 2023. The same patch of lawn with frost damage caused by the same mechanism a few weeks earlier is shown here:
