Tule fog is a radiation fog, which condenses when there is a high relative humidity (typically after a heavy rain), calm winds, and rapid cooling during the night. The nights are longer in the winter months, which allows an extended period of ground cooling, and thereby a pronounced temperature inversion at a low altitude.
Schoenoplectus acutus (syn. Scirpus acutus, Schoenoplectus lacustris, Scirpus lacustris subsp. acutus), called tule / ˈ t uː l iː /, common tule, hardstem tule, tule rush, hardstem bulrush, or viscid bulrush, is a giant species of sedge in the plant family Cyperaceae, native to freshwater marshes all over North America.
Here, the falling air is warming adiabatically, and so the fog re-evaporates as it falls. [ citation needed ] Katabatic wind in Antarctica A katabatic wind (named from Ancient Greek κατάβασις ( katábasis ) 'descent') is a downslope wind caused by the flow of an elevated, high-density air mass into a lower-density air mass below under ...
Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface. [1] [2] Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud usually resembling stratus and is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water, topography, and wind conditions.
A dense fog advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. in portions of south central and southwest New Mexico, according go the National Weather Service
A cold-air pool is an accumulation of cold air in a topographic depression, such as a valley or basin. The cold air is produced by radiative cooling at night along the slopes and sinks down, as it is denser than the surrounding air, settling at the bottom of the depression.
The incident began when Hunter Jr. approached Pasco and Pugh while they were sitting idle in their vehicle at a street corner in Stotts City, according to local outlet KOLR 10.
One example of a tropical montane forest is a cloud forest, which gains its moisture from clouds and fog. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] [ 22 ] Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance of mosses covering the ground and vegetation, in which case they are also referred to as mossy forests.
