2024年10月19日 · Types of Fog. There are several types of fog: Radiation Fog (Ground or Valley Fog): Forms on clear nights with little wind, when the ground loses heat through radiation, cooling the air near the surface to its dew point. Common in valleys and low-lying areas. Example: California’s Central Valley. Advection Fog:

three types: warm-front pre-frontal fog; cold front post-frontal fog; and frontal-passage fog. Pre and post-frontal fog are caused by rain falling into cold stable air thus raising the dew point.

The two common types are steam fog and frontal fog. Steam fog forms when cold air moves over warm water. When the cool air mixes with the warm moist air over the water, the moist air cools until its humidity reaches 100% and fog forms.
