Fog formed as air is cooled adiabatically by blowing up sloping terrain. 3, record 3, English, - upslope%20fog
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The upslope cooling may form clouds concurrently with the fog. As is the case with advection fog, upslope fog can form with moderate to strong winds under cloudy skies. In stable air, upslope fog will form as soon as the air is cooled to the surface dew point. Temperature and dew point close at about 4°F for each 1,000 feet rise in altitude. When air is unstable, convective clouds may form; fog forms at the surface where the ground level is at or above the condensation level. 3, record 3, English, - upslope%20fog
