“…In this study, the maximum values obtained regarding the wind speed analysis are as follows: 20 and 25 kt in LTCT; 16 kt in LTCF, and 26 kt in LTCO. These maximum wind values obtained are in parallel with Scott's study (Scott, 1894).…”

Fog is one of the important meteorological phenomena that play a critical role in the aircraft flying conditions and at airports. Fog events can lead to serious damage to the airport operations and the economy due to low visibility conditions and interrupting transportation. This study aims to explain the characteristics of the fogs occurring at the airports of the Kars, Agrı, and Igdır cities where located in the northeast of Turkey and neighbouring Georgia, Armenia, Nakhchivan, and Iran, and evaluate fog types. Within the scope of the study, a total of 3792 foggy aviation routine weather reports (METAR) and selected aviation special weather reports (SPECI) observations of the 10 years; from 2011 to 2020 were used for Igdır Şehit Bülent Aydın Airport (International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] code: LTCT), Kars Harakani Airport (LTCF) and Agrı Ahmed‐i Hani Airport (LTCO). During the time period studied, the number of foggy days in LTCT, LTCF, and LTCO was 41, 296, and 464, respectively. Fog events were most frequent from November to March, with December, January, and February being the most active months. August and September have no fog events in all three airports. Fog formation occurs usually at night hours and reaches a maximum around sunrise. Based on the physical formation mechanism, in LTCT, precipitation fog (PCP) was dominant at 39.02%; in LTCF and LTCO, radiation fog (RAD) was dominant at 33.11% and 58.84%, respectively.

“…He also mentioned that the strong wind fogs were accompanied by rain which was frequently heavy. SCOTT (1894) showed that fog occurrence was correlated to strong winds (Beaufort scale of 6), and that there was no clear relationship between weather patterns (e.g., cyclonic or anticyclonic) and fog formation. Scott also stated that the total number of fog cases with strong wind was (1992) carried out the Po Valley Fog Experiment which was a joint effort by several European research groups from five countries.…”

The scientific community that includes meteorologists, physical scientists, engineers, medical doctors, biologists, and environmentalists has shown interest in a better understanding of fog for years because of its effects on, directly or indirectly, the daily life of human beings. The total economic losses associated with the impact of the presence of fog on aviation, marine and land transportation can be comparable to those of tornadoes or, in some cases, winter storms and hurricanes. The number of articles including the word ''fog'' in Journals of American Meteorological Society alone was found to be about 4700, indicating that there is substantial interest in this subject. In spite of this extensive body of work, our ability to accurately forecast/nowcast fog remains limited due to our incomplete understanding of the fog processes over various time and space scales. Fog processes involve droplet microphysics, aerosol chemistry, radiation, turbulence, large/small-scale dynamics, and surface conditions (e.g., partaining to the presence of ice, snow, liquid, plants, and various types of soil). This review paper summarizes past achievements related to the understanding of fog formation, development and decay, and in this respect, the analysis of observations and the development of forecasting models and remote sensing methods are discussed in detail. Finally, future perspectives for fog-related research are highlighted.

“…A historical dense foggy event was reported by Scott in 1896, stating that fogs with strong winds accompanied by heavy rain occurred in the British Isles. Fog-related events associated with strong winds are estimated to be about 135 in 15 years [41,42]. In 1892, fog formation was found to be related to the role of aerosols.…”

Studies concerning fog water have been rapidly increasing due to its negative impacts on different environmental processes. However, fog water harvesting has become beneficial in various countries to overcome water scarcity. Accurate fog forecasting remains a challenging issue due to its spatio-temporal variability and uncertainties despite the development and efforts made to understand its chemistry and microphysics. The literature proved that the decrease in fog frequency over time in most countries is mainly attributed to the improvement in air quality or the change in regional climatic conditions. The current fog review summarizes its different types and collectors, life cycle, and impacts, the effects of aerosols, and the latest results concerning its forecast challenges and frequency. It also highlights the major chemical processes along with the main field studies performed on fog water. The aim of this work is not to provide a criticism about fog but to present a general comprehensive review of its physical and chemical aspects covering up to 330 research and review papers aimed to serve as a basis for new challenges and findings about fog water.
