Abstract

A field study of the microphysical properties of a radiation fog is described and interpreted in terms of the prevailing meteorological conditions. Pronounced periodic fluctuations in liquid water content (intervals of c70s) were observed at times in the radiation fog. It is suggested that these were a result of convective motions in the form of Benard cells. The drop size distributions were broad, containing drops of radii up to 25 micrometre. The radiation fog was observed to clear when cloud was advected over the site.-from Authors
