Postfrontal fog
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008073
Fog that forms in the cold air mass behind a passing cold front. This type of fog often develops as relatively warm, moist air is advected over a colder surface, leading to saturation and condensation. It can persist for several hours after frontal passage, reducing visibility significantly.
