Workshop: Recent Advances in Marine Fog, Prediction and Applications
Abstract
This proposal seeks funding to conduct a workshop during 25-26 March 2024 in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea (ROK), focusing on recent advances in marine fog research. In general, fog negatively affects societal functions such as transportation, communications andecosystem wellbeing. In particular, marine fog is known for appearing abruptly as a thick cloud with wind shear, causing serious disruptions. Characterization of the fog environment is imperative for directed high energy laser, free-space optics and remote detection applications, which are critical for defense enterprise. Notwithstanding, the predictability of fog and its electro-optic propagation characteristics is amongst the poorest in meteorology. Two comprehensive international field campaigns funded by the US Officeof Naval Research Marine Meteorology Program under the project dubbed Fatima (Fog and turbulence interactions in the marine atmosphere) have been completed in 2022 and 2023, respectively, in (Canadian) NorthAtlantic and ROK waters of the Yellow Sea. These field studies were participated by researchers from the USA, Canada, ROK, and Europe. The proposed workshop is intended to review the results of Fatima campaigns, associated theoretical and numerical studies, as well as related international collaborative activities. A mix of Fatima investigators and outside experts from fog research community will be the audience. Future directions of marine fog research, collaborations, and transitions of research findings to applications will also be discussed.
