FOG & MIST

FOG & MIST ARE PHISICALLY THE SAME AS CLOUD

EXEPT THEY TOUCH THE GROUND.
FOG IS CLOUD AT GROUND LEVEL WITH VISIBILITY
LESS THAN1000 METERS.
MIST IS CLOUD AT GROUND LEVEL WITH VISIBILITY
0F 1000 METERS OR MORE.
THE DIFFERENCES AMONG FOG ,MIST AND HAZE
ARE :
- FOG ------------- VISIBILITY < 1000M ; RH : 99-100%
- MIST ------------- VISIBILITY 1000M ; RH : 95-99%
- HAZE------------- VISIBILITY 3000M ; RH : < 95%
 TYPE OF FOG
RADIATION FOG : COOLING AT NIGHT UNDER
LIGHT WIND CONDITIONS ----- LAND AREA
ADVECTION FOG :PASSAGE OF WARM AIR
OVER A COLD SURFACE ----- COASTAL AREA
STEAMING FOG : PASSAGE OF COLD AIR
OVER A WARM WATER SURFACE.----- SEA AREA
PRECIPITATION FOG : CLOUD EXTENDING TO THE
GROUND FORMED FROM EVAPORATION OF RAIN.
---------------------------- LAND AREA
OROGRAPHIC FOG : OROGRAPHIC CLOUD DUE
TO LIFTING IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND
----------------------------- MOUNTAINOUS AREA
FORMATION OF RADIATION FOG
THE IDEAL CONDITIONS :
HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
CLOUDLESS SKIES AT NIGHT.
LIGHT WIND ( BUT NOT COMPLETE CALM ).
LOW SOIL TEMPERATURE.

 WHERE & WHEN IS RADIATION
FOG FORMED ?
RADIATION FOG

RADIATION FOG MAY FORM ANY TIME IN THE NIGHT OVER

LAND
RADIATION FOG ARE FAVOURED IN VALLEY, BECAUSE
CATABATIC FLOW MAKES THESE THE COLDEST PLACE.
RADIATION FOG WILL GENERALLY CLEAR BY MIDMORNING
RADIATION FOG IS EXPERIENCED IN INDONESIA BETWEEN
JUNE AND SEPTEMBER IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATION :
- PALEMBANG , PAKAN BARU ,JAMBI & OTHERS PLACE OF
EAST SUMATERA.
- PONTIANAK , SAMPIT , BANJARMASIN & OTHER PLACE OF
OTHERS PLACE OF WEST-SOUTH WEST SOUTH KALIMAN
