Abstract:

 


In this study the characteristics of
fog events were examined at Çarşamba International Airport in Turkey.
Historical meteorological observations were used between the years of 2008 and
2017. Fog events were classified by a simple conceptual model on fog formation
process. Fog types, visibility, duration, wind direction and speed, sea surface
temperature were reviewed. Results show three main fog types; classified,
radiation, advection and cloud base lowering. No fog events were observed
between July and September, whereas the most foggy periods are between the
beginning of January and the end of May. This corresponds with the advection
fog period. Sea surface temperature and weather temperature during fog onset
was found to highly correlate with each other. 
The return period of dense fog for two years was determined to be 8.27
hours. Light, calm and eastern directions of wind were detected during the most
of the fog events. Fog onset and dissipation times were figured out in monthly
scale and the effect of solar radiation is clearly seen with the onset and
dissipation processes. Determined characteristics of fog in Çarşamba airport
can be useful for future modeling studies.
