Study Notes
- There are different types of fog, including ground fog, sea/river mist, and radiation fog.
- Ground fog is formed over low-lying areas and bodies of water, while sea/river mist forms over non-frozen bodies of water.
- Radiation fog is formed due to cooling of the ground surface, while advection fog is formed when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface.
- Fog can also be classified into three genetic groups: cooling, evaporation, and mixing.
- Cooling fog is formed due to cooling of the air, which causes water vapor to condense.
- Advection fog is a type of cooling fog that forms when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface.
- Radiation fog is formed due to cooling of the ground surface at night.
- Evaporation fog is formed when cold, dry air moves over warmer water, causing water vapor to evaporate and then condense.
- Mixing fog is formed when two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels mix together.
- The intensity of fog formation depends on factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and surface temperature.
