Observations, Modeling, and Forecasting of Coastal Fog Processes

Session ID#: 75891

Session Description:
Fog events can be both inconvenient and hazardous to humans (particularly travel) as well as critical to ecosystems. Fog formation, development, and dissipation processes are notoriously difficult to predict and even measure and require interdisciplinary approaches. Large-scale environments (e.g., sea vs. land) and meteorological processes interact with small-scale variability related to terrain, the built environment, vegetation, lakes, etc. to produce very different conditions that determine the life cycle of fog and its physical character.

 

This session focuses on improved understanding and modeling of fog, in particular, microphysics, thermodynamics, and dynamics. A special emphasis will be given to coastal fog and its prediction. We seek original contributions including theoretical, observational (particularly field experiments), and numerical modeling studies. Topics of interest emerging from synergetic fields are also welcomed, including measurement techniques, data assimilation, ecohydrology, marine weather, and aerosols are also welcomed.
