An analysis of fog and low stratus life‐cycle regimes over central Europe

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society
AbstractA better understanding of fog and low stratus (FLS) life cycles, in particular the typical onset and dissipation times, can help traffic safety and solar power planning. Besides its high dependence on the prevalent meteorological conditions, the FLS life cycle is further determined by the FLS type as well as the underlying geography and climate.

A satellite perspective on fog and low stratus dissipation over Europe

open access: yes, 2021
<p>In this study, the dissipation of fog and low stratus (FLS) over Europe is analyzed based on geostationary satellite data using logistic regression. <br>The dissipation of FLS is a result of the interaction of complex physical processes and its timing has implications for environmental systems, traffic at ...

Optical Thickness and Effective Radius Retrievals of Low Stratus and Fog from MTSAT Daytime Data as a Prerequisite for Yellow Sea Fog Detection

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
Operational nowcasting techniques for sea fog over the Yellow Sea rely on data from weather satellites because ground-based observations are hardly available.

A satellite‐based climatology of fog and low stratus formation and dissipation times in central Europe

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2022
AbstractKnowledge of fog and low stratus (FLS) cloud patterns and life cycles is important for traffic safety, for the production of solar energy and for the analysis of cloud processes in the climate system. While meteorological stations provide information on FLS, a data set describing FLS formation and dissipation times on large spatial and temporal

Fog - low stratus (FLS) regimes on Corsica with wind and PBLH as key drivers

open access: yesAtmospheric Research, 2021
Abstract The French Mediterranean island of Corsica is already today confronted with a clear tendency towards water shortage, leading not only to socio-economical, but also to ecological problems. A potential, but not very widespread source of water is the presence of near-ground clouds, mostly fog. In this study, we investigate fog-low stratus (FLS)

Fog and Low Stratus Obstruction of Wind Lidar Observations in Germany—A Remote Sensing-Based Data Set for Wind Energy Planning

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Coherent wind doppler lidar (CWDL) is a cost-effective way to estimate wind power potential at hub height without the need to build a meteorological tower.

MODIS-Derived Arctic Melt Season Fog and Low Stratus over East Greenland Glaciers and the Ice Sheet

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2019
In a first attempt to quantify fog over vast snow and ice surfaces, we present the horizontal and vertical spatial extent of significant melt-season fog events over East Greenland glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet.

Evaluation of Fog and Low Stratus Cloud Microphysical Properties Derived from In Situ Sensor, Cloud Radar and SYRSOC Algorithm

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2018
The microphysical properties of low stratus and fog are analyzed here based on simultaneous measurement of an in situ sensor installed on board a tethered balloon and active remote-sensing instruments deployed at the Instrumented Site for Atmospheric ...
