Sea smoke

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008718

A type of fog that forms when very cold air moves over much warmer water. The warm water evaporates rapidly into the cold air, which then cools and condenses to form a shallow layer of fog directly above the water surface. It is often observed in polar regions or over lakes during cold outbreaks.
