Harmonization of Meteosat First and Second Generation Datasets for Fog and Low Stratus Studies
Remote Sensing, 2023 Operational weather satellites, dating back to 1970s, currently provide the best basis for climatological investigations, such as an analysis of changes in the cloud cover.

Remote Sensing, 2021 The detection of low stratus and fog (LSF) at dawn remains limited because of their optical features and weak solar radiation. LSF could be better identified by simultaneous observations of two geostationary satellites from different viewing angles.

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.

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 ...

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.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 The correct simulation of fog and low stratus (FLS) is a difficult task for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The Swiss Plateau experiences many days with FLS in winter. Most NWP models employ terrain‐following vertical coordinates.

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 ...

Identifying the key challenges for fog and low stratus forecasting in complex terrain [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020 Forecasting fog and low stratus (FLS) accurately poses a challenge to current numerical weather prediction models, despite many advancements in recent years. We present a novel method to quantify FLS extent bias by comparing forecasts with satellite observations.

What controls the formation of nocturnal low-level stratus clouds over southern West Africa during the monsoon season? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Nocturnal low-level stratus clouds (LLCs) are frequently observed in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over southern West Africa (SWA) during the summer monsoon season.
