Microphysical Evolution of Fog.

Abstract

There is a paucity of data on the microphysical structure and life history of fogs. In two documented field programs, the microphysical and meteorological data of five warm radiation and radiation-advection fogs were collected at regular time intervals from onset through dissipation. In this paper, the statistical parameters of the microphysical data are presented, and analyses made thereof with a view to delineating the formative, mature, and dissipative stages of fog evolution in terms of five parameters: droplet and cloud nucleus concentrations, liquid water content, visibility, and supersaturation.
