Some Empirical Rules for Forecasting Fog and Stratus Over Northern Florida, Southern Georgia and Adjacent Coastal Waters

摘要

Strong low-level winds, especially strong vertical wind shear, generate and maintain enough mixing below the subsidence inversion over southern Georgia and northern Florida to counteract, or inhibit, low stratus and fog formation. Weaker northeast and east winds favor low stratus and fog formation over southern Georgia and northern Florida when the trajectory is from the Atlantic coast.
