Which type of fog is produced when air is lifted over a topographic barrier?

Orographic fog is produced when moist air is lifted over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form fog on the windward side of the barrier.


What is ice fog?

When air becomes laden with moisture, the moisture condenses and becomes saturated. This cooler area of air begins to form fog at ground level or just above the ocean / water surface. If this is over ice flow or icebergs, the air also contains ice crystals in the fog. Like on land, the ice fog occurs evening to next morning. As the sun comes up, it warms the air, melts ice crystals, reduces the condensation, and like on land, the entire fog cloud or fog bank becomes lighter. The fog rises into the sky, becoming just one of the clouds.
