<p>While fog presents a major hazard to transportation safety, meteorologists have yet to figure out how to forecast it with the precision they have achieved for precipitation, wind and other stormy events. This is because the physical processes resulting in fog formation are extremely complex, Now, in a <a href="https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/104/11/BAMS-D-22-0030.1.xml#bib32"> paper</a> published by the <a href...

A new study led by University of Utah researchers offers new insight into how and why snowflakes fall the way they do.

Salt Lake City UT (SPX) Dec 21, 2023 - Tim Garrett has devoted his scientific career to characterizing snowflakes, the protean particles of ice that form in clouds and dramatically change as they fall to Earth. Now the University o

A University of Utah professor has researched how snowflakes can be surprisingly predictable.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame will lead a five-year study to improve the fundamental understanding, detection and predictability of marine sea fog.

SALT LAKE CITY — Fog is a weather phenomenon thats intrigued scientists for centuries. While there are plenty of extensive studies about how various kinds of fog are formed, there really isnt a whole lot that helps meteorologists and other researchers predict when or where fog will form. Thats especially true in high-elevation areas, where fog is as frequent as over water bodies but where its science is less known.
