Cool, clear, and calm conditions favor the formation of fog by radiation cooling.
A low level cloud that often produces fog and drizzle is called what?
That would be a stratus cloud.

How sunshine helps to clear the fog?
fog is a cloud that has come down to earth. clouds are water vapor. water vapor is tiny droplets of water floating around in the air. water evaporates. especially when exposed to heat. the sun produces immense amounts of heat, therefore causing the water to evaporate faster, therefore causing the fog to "lift" or evaporate.
The fog that results from the nightly cooling of the earth is called?
radiation fog
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.
How does upslope fog form?
Upslope fog forms when air moves gently up in elevation enough for the layer to reach saturation.
What is upslope fog?
An upslope fog is a fog created when moist air is lifted by a mountain or an upward sloping terrain. Condensation then occurs near the ground to form clouds.
What are the names of the three kinds of fog?
Freezing fog, advection fog, and evaporation fog!
What kind of fog is found in the mountains when humid air pushes up to make fog?

What is The fog that forms along the pacific coastline of north America?

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