Fog Layer 19 Dec 2006/00 UTC - 23 Dec 2006/12 UTC: Cloud Cover

19 Dec 2006/00 UTC

Cloud Cover VCS shows interesting features, particularly on the last day of the event. We can see mostly very low-level cloudiness analysed in the model, quite well agreeing with the observed cloudiness in satellite images. Cloud cover clearly is trapped beneath the inversion. On 23 Dec at 00 UTC another cloud layer at 900-950 hPa south seems to be advected on top of the fog layer in SE England from south; it is quite possible that this cloud layer inhibits the IR cooling of the fog layer beneath and supports the lifting of fog and mixing of boundary-layer air.
