An area of low pressure identified with counterclockwise circulation in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Also, defined as a cyclone. An area of higher pressure identified with a clockwise circulation in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise circulation in the southern hemisphere. Also, defined as an anticyclone. Fog is the visible aggregate of minute water droplets suspended in the atmosphere near the surface.
Fog is the visible aggregate of minute water droplets suspended in the atmosphere near the surface.
Usually dense fog occurs when air that is lying over a warmer surface such as the Gulf Stream is advected across a colder water surface and the lower layer of the airmass is cooled below its dew point. Sea fog - Common advection fog caused by transport of moist air over a cold body of water. Freezing spray - Spray in which supercooled water droplets freeze upon contact with exposed objects below the freezing point of water. It usually develops in areas with winds of at least 25 knots. On surface analysis charts a developing gale indicates gale force winds within the next 36 hours.
