1. Radiation Fog
- Type formed when moist air is cooled below dew point as a result of intense radiation on the ground at night.
1. Advection Fog
- A warm moist air current moves horizontally over a cooler land / sea surface. Air current is cooled rapidly. Moisture in the air condenses to form water droplets. Water droplets remain suspended in the air in form of fog.
2. Orographic/Hill/Upslope Fog
Type formed when moist air is cooled after climbing a hill or mountain.
3. Evaporation Fog
- Type formed when water vapour is added to cold air that is already near saturation causing excess water vapour to condense and form fog.
4. Frontal Fog
- Type formed when warm moist air is cooled from below as it rises over a cold air mass.
5. Steam Fog
- Type formed when moist air passes over the surface of a much warmer fresh water body.
- The warm water is cooled from above and condensing water vapour forms fog. It appears to be steaming
6. Ice Fog
