tangent arc [′tan·jənt ¦ärk]

(meteorology)

Generic name for several types of halo arcs that form as loci tangent to other halos; the halo of 22° occasionally exhibits the horizontal and vertical tangent arcs, and the halo of 46° exhibits the infralateral tangent arcs and the supralateral tangent arcs.
