San Francisco is the poster child of advection fog. It is common anywhere you have a cold ocean current with frequent incursions of warm, moist air.

∙ 9y agoAn advection fog is a form of fog caused by the passage of moist air horizontally over a colder surface and the cooling of the air to below its dew point.

Compare and contrast the formation of radiation fog and advection fog?
H2O nearing dew point by radiative process causes radiation fog . Advection of warm air over cold surface makes Avection fog
Different types of fog?
There are two types of fog, advection fog and radiation, or ground fog. Advection fog is common along the pacific coast of the United States. Warm, moist air over the Pacific Ocean is blown inward. The other kind of fog is radiation, or ground fog. This fog is common lots of places. It forms when a layer of warm, moist air forms low to the ground.
When warm and moist winds blow over snow-covered ground what is most likely to result?
advection fog
When warm moist air moves over a cold surface what fog may result?
The result is a front, which will likely lead to rain showers and possible thunderstorms.
What do you think the source of condensation nuclei for the advection fogs of Newfoundland?
The source would the ocean. The condensation nuclei would be tiny particles of salt. The advection fog of Newfoundland is formed when warm air (from above the warm Gulf Stream) comes into contact with The Labrador Current (a cold ocean current) near the Grand Banks off of Newfoundland.
What are the names of the three kinds of fog?
Freezing fog, advection fog, and evaporation fog!
What is The fog that forms along the pacific coastline of north America?
advection fog

What type of fog results when moist air moves across a cold surface?
This is advection fog

What has the author Robert Jerome McClure written?
Robert Jerome McClure has written: 'The relationship of temperature inversions to marine advection fog' -- subject(s): Meteorology
The type of the fog that results when moist air move across a cold surface is?
Advection fog results when moist air moved across a cold surface. When moving across a cold surface, the air is cooled to its dew point.
