Interannual variability of sea fog frequency in the Northwestern Pacific in July
Description: The interannual variability in the sea fog frequency (SFF) in July in the midlatitude Northwestern Pacific (40°N-50°N, 140°E-170°W) from 1979 to 2009 is investigated with observations and reanalysis datasets. The case studies confirmed that the air parcels moving from the subtropical zone to the midlatitudes controlled by the Northwestern Pacific subtropical high (SH), kept the higher temperature and humidity when flowing across the Kuroshio Extension, and then cooled down over the cold oceanic surface in fog case. The SFF in the Northwestern Pacific would decline under the conditions of global warming. [Source: Atmospheric Research]
