Types Of Fogs And The Foggiest Places

The process begins when the sun starts to heats up the surface which creates warm air. The warm, less heavy air rises and converges with the cold less heavy air above. This process is known as wind shears. Wind shears are when two

Chief Bromden experiences the fog in times of terror-stricken moments; where reality of strict rules and routines are upon him by Nurse Ratchet. When these moments arise he goes into the fog, stating: "You had a choice: you could either strain and look at other things that appeared in front of you in the fog, painful as it might be, or you could relax and lose yourself... Being lost isn't so bad." (pg. 113-114). Chief feels safe in the fog, he lets it become a shield of blindness when he needs to escape the truth. An example of this is near the beginning of the novel; the first confrontation of the fog. Chief had to get shaved, he hides in the mop closet petrified of what they were going to do. Once they caught him in the closet and were

They are known as convective storms. Cell thunderstorms form in regions where limited vertical wind shear is present. The winds direction or speeds do not abruptly change rapidly. Ordinary storms develop and mature through a cycle, as cell thunderstorms don’t have this development. Different conditions vary from warm air rising, random turbulent eddies and terrain. These are a few that can be a trigger to these more impactful storms.

Clouds to form in the atmosphere have to have water vapor present. This water vapor makes up a cloud. The water vapor in the atmosphere comes from evaporation or deposition. Also the temperature of the air is below the dew point. When the water is fully saturated, it starts to rise and the expansional cooling process begins. During the process of condensation, the aerosol particles act like a nuclei in the atmosphere, which began to grow, creating ice crystals that are big enough to produce a cloud.

Below freezing air is used to make snow and snowflakes. Moisture from lakes and oceans to form clouds.warm, rising air to form precipitation.

3. Windward side: humid air moves up the mountain’s slopes and cools to form clouds that produce precipitation; leeward side: the air is warm and very dry.

So the warm moist air creates clouds of rain and thunderstorm. Adding to that winds with different speed going in different directions assisting in expanding these great clouds of rain and thunderstorm. With

Condensation As the evaporated water vapor gets colder rising into the atmosphere, it changes back into different levels of liquid clouds of different types.

Then is started to rain and the fog went away. The rain did not stop it rained hard in every hour.

Every winter the Central Valley experiences radiation fog that forms across the area. The Central Valley in California has ideal conditions for radiation fog to form. The valley is between a coastal mountain range on the West Coast and on the east side is where the Sierra Nevada mountains sit (Herckes, et. Al). Due to this topography of this area air masses become stagnant and ventilation of the valley is hindered (Herckes, et. Al). The lack of ventilation in the valley leads to temperature inversions, because of high pressure systems that form of the Great Basin (Herckes, et. Al). This leads to radiation fog forming because of inversion during nights in which a layer of moist air is below a layer of drier air (Ahrens and Sampson 97).

According to NASA clouds are made of water or ice crystals floating in the sky, not gas (add reference). A scientific explanation of how clouds are form is that water vapour evaporates from the earth into the atmosphere than condenses on the earth. There are many different reasons as to why clouds are formed. Some other ways include when dust, smoke or other particles are suspended into the air or when water vapour condenses into particles into the air (Skamp & Preston, 2007, p.

Clouds are not made of gas rather composed of tiny droplets of water attached to dust and other particles that exist in the atmosphere, enabling them to be suspended in the sky. The water vapour that exists in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation and transpiration is invisible, however clouds are formed when this vapour, cools and condenses to form water droplets that become visible in the sky. When these water droplets further cool and condense, and combine to form larger drops, they become too heavy to remain suspended in the sky and fall to the ground. This process results in precipitation, most commonly referred to as

All that runoff water collects in the lake and eventually turns into the hydrologic cycle, and I'm not all that surprised. Being right next to the mountain usually makes my area fairly humid. Not only do the trees absorb so much water and not only does so much water runoff into the lake, but a lot of it runs down the hill, and when its very hot outside all that rain evaporates and really makes the air humid, but usually when you are on higher ground you tend to receive a little more rain. Like I said earlier more precipitation usually occurs in this area so not only does that mean rain, it also refers to snow. During the winter we tend to be the colder town in the surrounding area because of our elevation which is 131 ft. above see level. During the summer it tends to be humid but non the less very beautiful. Something that does occur often is heavy fog in the morning, and that usually depends on the temperature of the air and the ground, but it happens

They are known as rime and clear ice, and a mixture of the two is not uncommon. For rime ice to form, an aircraft needs to fly through an area of tiny super-cooled liquid drops. This super-cooled liquid is actually suspended in the cloud cover at temperatures already below freezing. Once the aircraft surface plows through this moisture, the drops are disrupted immediately adhere to and freeze before spreading out over the entire surface. This forms a rough and cloudy-white layer of ice known as rime. Even though the rime surface is rough and creates an airflow disturbance, it is lighter and easier to remove by deicing equipment than clear ice. For clear ice to form, larger sized super-cooled drops would need to be encountered. These larger droplets spread out over the surface and airfoils before freezing. This allows for the build-up of a clear, hard and slick layer of ice on the surface (Ahrens, 2009).
