Droplet size distribution, liquid water content and water input of the seasonally variable, nocturnal fog in the Central Namib Desert

Robert Spirig et al.

Summary: Researchers deployed an eddycovariance setup at two inland locations in Central Namib desert to study fog patterns, finding higher fog collector mesh precipitation at Vogelfederberg compared to Gobabeb despite lower liquid water content. Fog events typically lasted 6 hours, with higher liquid water content in the first two to three hours.

Study of Stratus-Lowering Marine-Fog Events Observed During C-FOG

Sandeep Wagh et al.

Summary: The observed stratus-lowering coastal-fog episodes are influenced by the interaction between synoptic-scale surface-level low-pressure systems and a contiguous high-pressure system, with the formation of the fog layer primarily due to differential advection.

A Review of Coastal Fog Microphysics During C-FOG

I. Gultepe et al.

Summary: The C-FOG project aims to improve coastal fog prediction through microphysical measurements and parametrization evaluation in Eastern Canada. The study finds a correlation between microphysical observations and three-dimensional wind factors in fog intensity evaluation, highlighting the need for adjustments in microphysical observations and parametrizations to enhance the predictability of numerical weather prediction models.

A Fog Climatology at Abu Dhabi International Airport

Michael Weston et al.

Summary: The International Airport in Abu Dhabi experiences dense fog during winter months, with fog days per year ranging from 8 to 51. December and January are the most active months for fog events, which typically occur between 7:00 PM and 11:00 AM with a duration of around 1 hour.

A rule-based method for diagnosing radiation fog in an arid region from NWP forecasts

Michael Weston et al.

Summary: A reliable fog forecast is important for water resource management and reducing hazardous effects on transport networks. By using a multi rule-based method, factors such as relative humidity, wind speed, and inversion depth can significantly impact model performance in diagnosing fog conditions.

WRF Gray-Zone Simulations of Precipitation Over the Middle-East and the UAE: Impacts of Physical Parameterizations and Resolution

Sourav Taraphdar et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of different configurations of the WRF model over the UAE and Middle-East, finding that the 9 km resolution model shows good skill in capturing synoptic and meso-scale precipitation distributions. The aerosol-aware Thompson microphysics scheme outperforms the WRF double moment 6 class microphysics in annual mean precipitation over the Middle-East. Different Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) physics can lead to large differences in annual rainfall, with the Quasi-Normal Scale Elimination (QNSE) PBL scheme producing stronger precipitation and better agreement with observations.

Validation and statistical analysis of the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature data in the Arabian Gulf

Oleksandr Nesterov et al.

Summary: The combined effects of climate change and increasing seawater demand in the Arabian Gulf region have significant impacts on the ecosystem. Long-term trends and changes in SST, in particular the exceedances of percentiles, have been found to be more pronounced in the Gulf region.
