An Investigation of Marine Fog Forecast Concepts.
Abstract
As a follow-on to eight years of field study of marine fog, an investigation of potential fog forecasting concepts was initiated. Task 1 involved examination and interpretation of synoptic scale meteorological data in terms of micro- and meso-scale marine fog data acquired by Calspan on previous West Coast field studies. The results of this investigation were summarized in an experimental 'decision tree' for use in the forecasting of marine fog. As Task 2, Calspan conducted a descriptive investigation of the circumstances and characteristics of marine fog occurring in the northern Gulf of Mexico through analysis and interpretation of fog data previously acquired by Calspan during the Panama City II experiment.
