“…Fog-related events were an extreme form of smog. The available evidence indicates that they were associated with anticyclones and temperature inversions (Brodie 1891;Scott 1896;Times, Dec. 13, 1873, p. 7;Wise 2001, pp. 15-18).…”

“…For example, the aforementioned cattle-show fog of 1873 lasted a week (Brazell 1968, p. 111). The December fog of 1879 lasted nearly two weeks, darkening London's skies from December 3 through December 27 (Brazell 1968, p. 111;Scott 1896). There was also the aptly named "anticyclonic winter" of 1890-1891, a two month interval of almost uninterrupted fog (Brodie 1891).…”

Fog Water: A General Review of Its Physical and Chemical Aspects

“…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.…”
