| Description: |
The cold Humboldt Current brings chilly water to the coast; meanwhile, upwelling currents pull deep, frigid water to the surface. The cold water acts to air-condition the atmosphere above, cooling the air and causing water vapor to condense as it would on the edge of a chilled glass. This condensed water vapor produces the low clouds and fog seen in a new NASA image. [Source: LiveScience]
