Analysis and Modeling of an Extremely Dense Fog Event in Southern Ontario
|
ABSTRACT
In this study, a dense fog episode that occurred near Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on 3 September 1999 is investigated. The fog patch, with a spatial scale of several kilometers, reduced visibility on a major highway to a few meters and led to a series of collisions and loss of life. Satellite imagery and surface observations are used to analyze the physics of the event, and several hypotheses on the origin of the fog are presented. A series of simulations of the event with the f...

Forecasters' misty logic over how fog is formed Cooling air, not ground moisture, is the key
The Sunday Telegraph London
; " . . . and with all the moisture about after the recent heavy rain, mist and fog patches will probably form later in the night." How many times have you heard statements like that in television and radio weather forecasts? It was certainly uttered by at least one presenter at the beginning of last
