A deep dive into new research showing fog is far from passive. We explore how a boundary layer low-level jet carries moist air inland, strengthens inversions, and spawns fog that can outrun surface winds. We unpack the creation–destruction balance: night-time radiative cooling powers fog growth, while morning solar heating and a warming ground hasten its evaporation. An overlying cloud deck can blanket and halt cooling, sealing fog’s fate. We discuss implications for forecasts, modeling, and real-world applications in weather science and business.
