Advances in Fog Research in China

Fog is a severe phenomenon affecting the transport, human health, the quality of agricultural products, and so on. Thus, a good comprehensive understanding of fog processes is quite important and valuable to the early warning and forecast of fog, to human health and economy. In this study, recent progresses in fog studies in China are reviewed in terms including the climatic characteristics, macro characteristics, micro characteristics of fog, the interactions between fog and turbulence, fog chemistry, fog remote sensing, fog numerical simulations and the fog dispersal . Some further studies on fog processes are also suggested.
