Definitions

  • Fog associated with frontal zones and frontal passages. It is usually divided into three types: warm-front prefrontal fog; cold-front post-frontal fog; and frontal-passage fog. The first two types are a result of rain falling into cold stable air and raising the dewpoint temperature. Frontal-passage fog can result from the ?mixing of warm and cold air masses in the frontal zone? or by ?sudden cooling of air over moist ground.?
