Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface. [1] [2] Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud usually resembling stratus and is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water, topography, and wind conditions.
Likewise, warming air decreases the relative humidity. Warming some air containing a fog may cause that fog to evaporate, as the droplets are prone to total evaporation due to the lowering partial pressure of water vapour in that air, as the temperature rises. Relative humidity only considers the invisible water vapour.
Smog, or smoke fog, is a type of intense air pollution. The word "smog" was coined in the early 20th century, and is a portmanteau of the words smoke and fog [ 1 ] to refer to smoky fog due to its opacity, and odor. [ 2 ]
The fog was caused, in part, by a high level of low-level moisture, or humidity, plus additional moisture from recent rain in the area, said local National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Boxell.
Using the classical definition of advection, moisture advection is defined as: =in which V is the horizontal wind vector, and is the density of water vapor. However, water vapor content is usually measured in terms of mixing ratio (mass fraction) in reanalyses or dew point (temperature to partial vapor pressure saturation, i.e. relative humidity to 100%) in operational forecasting.
The “headstand” posture is caused by high humidity caused by fog conditions. Low temperatures, observed to be below 20 degrees Celsius during nocturnal fog, [10] may play a role in modulating the behaviour, but low temperatures do not seem to be capable of triggering the “headstand” posture without high humidity conditions.

Baehr’s other two children were always tired and complained of body aches as well. Baehr, then 39, saw doctor after doctor, but no one had an answer. They suggested cutting out sugar and gluten ...
Tule fog is a radiation fog, which condenses when there is a high relative humidity (typically after a heavy rain), calm winds, and rapid cooling during the night. The nights are longer in the winter months, which allows an extended period of ground cooling, and thereby a pronounced temperature inversion at a low altitude.
