Résumé

The advection fog characteristics at Qingdao Liuting International Airport during 2000-2022 are studied based on surface observation, sounding and reanalysis data. Surface observation data show that there were two types of fog: evaporation fog (EF) dominated by northwesterly wind in winter and cooling fog (CF) dominated by southeasterly wind in spring and summer. CF is thicker than EF due to different planetary boundary layer (PBL) structures. For EF, the middle and low troposphere are affected by dry and cold air, while CF is affected by warm and moist air below 850 hPa. When EF formed, downdrafts and a positive vertical gradient of the pseudo-equivalent potential temperature indicate stable PBL, surface heat flux is upward from sea to atmosphere and surface wind diverges near the air-sea interface. When CF formed, these characteristics are reversed. Fog is significantly affected by sea-land-atmosphere interactions. The moisture source is mainly from surface fluxes released by the Yellow Sea in the case of EF, while it is from moist air at low latitudes and local land transpiration in the case of CF. The difference in temperature between the sea surface and surface air changes from the range of 0-8 K for EF but from −4-0 K for CF.
