Supercooled fog
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009401
A type of fog composed of liquid water droplets that exist at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. These droplets remain unfrozen due to the absence of sufficient ice nuclei. Supercooled fog can pose a hazard to aviation and ground transportation as it can lead to the rapid accumulation of ice on surfaces.
