UPSLOPE FOG


Meaning of UPSLOPE FOG in English

Fog that forms when warm, moist surface air is forced up a slope by the wind. It is adiabatically cooled to below its initial dew point, which means the air cools by expansion as it rises. It forms best where there is a gradual slope, and it can become quite deep, requiring considerable time to dissipate. Related term: Cheyenne Fog
