Koračin, Darko.editor.
Dorman, Clive E.editor.
This volume presents the history of marine fog research and applications, and discusses the physical processes leading to fog's formation, evolution, and dissipation. A special emphasis will be on the challenges and advancements of fog observation and modeling as well as on efforts toward operational fog forecasting and linkages and feedbacks between marine fog and the environment.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Worldwide Marine Fog Occurrence and Climatology -- Early and Recent Observational Techniques for Fog -- Turbulence in Marine Fog -- Radiation in Marine Fog -- Synoptic processes -- Marine Fog: A Review on Microphysics and Visibility Prediction -- Precipitation and Fog -- Modeling and Forecasting Marine Fog -- Ensemble Fog Prediction -- Multi-spectral Remote Sensing of Sea Fog with Simultaneous Passive Infrared and Microwave Sensors.
