GEOG 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Cirrocumulus Cloud, Nimbostratus Cloud, Dew Point
Document Summary
Type formed when moist air is cooled below dew point as a result of intense radiation on the: radiation fog ground at night. Type formed when moist air from the sea moves horizontally over a cold surface e. g. snow: advection fog covered ground. Type formed when moist air is cooled after climbing a hill or mountain: orographic/hill/upslope fog. Type formed when water vapour is added to cold air that is already near saturation causing: evaporation fog excess water vapour to condense and form fog. Type formed when warm moist air is cooled from below as it rises over a cold air mass: frontal fog. Type formed when moist air passes over the surface of a much warmer fresh water: steam fog body. The warm water is cooled from above and condensing water vapour forms fog. Type formed when water vapour is converted directly into ice crystals when temperatures are: ice fog below freezing point.
