The various types of urban fog distinguished in the literature can be considered to represent a mixture of the process-based fog types distinguished in Figure 3, with the actual type depending on specific climatologic setting.…”

This article reviews the hydrologic importance of fog in its various forms. Meteorologically, fog is defined as a ground-touching cloud with a visibility in the horizontal of less than 1000 m. The most widely occurring fog types include radiation fog, sea fog and steam fog, and advection fog, but often fog is also referred to by its location of occurrence (coastal, valley, or mountain fog). The physical processes underlying the various types of fog are described briefly. The use, advantages, and limitations of the most common types of fog collectors, fog detectors, and fog droplet spectrometers are dealt with before embarking on a discussion of techniques for the measurement and modeling of fog deposition on forest vegetation. Results of fog deposition measurements made at selected locations (representing coastal vs. inland, lowland vs. montane, and temperate vs. tropical conditions) are compared. The data confirm the importance of fog interception at many coastal and montane sites across the tropical to mediterranean and warm-temperate climatic spectrum. Under more continental conditions, contributions by fog are usually more modest except on windy mountain ridges and summits. Finally, the paper indicates the chief gaps in knowledge regarding the measurement and importance of fog as a hydrologic input.Encyclopedia of Hydrological Sciences. Edited by M G Anderson.

“…Several steel, cement and aluminium industries, the thermal power plants mainly using coal as a source of energy are at work in this region. A recent report shows (Patel et al 1999) that the pond and river sediments of this region are highly contaminated with metals. Lead contamination in aquatic ecosystems is unusual in that it arises mainly from atmospheric transport (De Filippis and Pallaghy, 1994).…”
