Frozen fog
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005843
A type of fog composed of tiny ice crystals suspended in the air, rather than supercooled water droplets. It forms when water vapor sublimates directly into ice crystals at very low temperatures, typically below -30 degrees Celsius. This phenomenon is common in polar regions and can significantly reduce visibility.
