1 km fog and low stratus detection using pan-sharpened MSG SEVIRI data [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2012 In this paper a new technique for the detection of fog and low stratus in 1 km resolution from MSG SEVIRI data is presented. The method relies on the pan-sharpening of 3 km narrow-band channels using the 1 km high-resolution visible (HRV) channel.

Fog and low-level stratus characteristics at the airport of Odesa from surface observations
Вісник Харківського національного університету імені В.Н. Каразіна. Серія Геологія. Географія. Екологія, 2023 Introduction. Fog that limits visibility and low-level stratus represent a significant hazard to aviation especially during takeoff and landing, and also low-level flying of aircrafts, because accidents often occur in reduced visibility conditions and ...

Machine Learning for Fog-and-Low-Stratus Nowcasting from Meteosat SEVIRI Satellite Images
Atmosphere, 2023 Fog and low stratus (FLS) are meteorological phenomena that have a significant impact on all ways of transportation and public safety. Due to their similarity, they are often grouped together as a single category when viewed from a satellite perspective.

Enhanced Nighttime Fog and Low Stratus Occurrence Over the Landes Forest, France
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 AbstractUnderstanding the drivers of fog and low stratus (FLS) cloud occurrence is important for traffic, ecosystems, and climate models, but it is challenging to analyze due to the complex interactions between meteorological factors and land cover. Here, we use active and passive satellite data, as well as reanalysis data to investigate nighttime FLS ...
