What are some types of fog that pilots should be aware of?

The correct answer includes Radiation, Advection, Upslope, Precipitation-induced, and Ice/Steam fog, which are all significant types of fog that pilots must be aware of for various reasons related to flight safety and visibility.

Radiation fog forms when the ground cools rapidly at night, causing moisture in the air near the ground to condense. This type of fog is common in rural areas during clear nights and can pose visibility challenges for pilots attempting to take off or land.

Advection fog occurs when warm, moist air moves over a cooler surface, leading to cooling and condensation. This type of fog can form over large bodies of water and drift inland, affecting visibility significantly in coastal areas.

Upslope fog results from moist air being forced up a terrain slope, cooling and condensing as it rises. This type is especially relevant in hilly or mountainous regions, where pilots may encounter abrupt visibility changes.

Precipitation-induced fog forms when rain falls through a layer of cooler air, causing the moisture from the rain to evaporate and create fog. It often follows rain showers and can significantly reduce visibility in affected areas.

Ice/Steam fog is a phenomenon that occurs at very low temperatures when water vapor from warmer air freezes upon contact
