Abstract:
Based on hourly ground observation data, daily sounding data for every 50 m at 08:00 and 20:00 BT in Minqin Weather Station, and the NECP reanalysis data, a rarelyseen heavy fog process in Minqin from 9 to 13 November 2015 is analyzed. The results show that the increased ground relative humidity after preprecipitation provided necessary moisture condition, stable high and lowlevel circulation configurations provided a stable stratification and light wind condition for the fog formation. The thickness and intensity of fog layer were closely related to the thickness and intensity of inversion layer near surface, boundary layer height, vertical movement of moisture and absolute value of (Ts-Ta) over night. The higher the boundary layer, the thicker the inversion layer near surface, and the thicker the fog layer. The more intensive the inversion layer, the smaller the absolute value of (Ts-Ta) at night, and the more intensive the fog layer. The stable highlevel circulation, intensive inversion layer and stable isothermal layer near surface and the longlasting saturated moist layer contributed to the rarelyseen intensity and duration of the heavy fog process this time.
