Hi Kim,
After I saw you, I ran to the station and got the DSLR to shoot the fog on the harbor. I had to chase it, as the fog was moving- it just wouldn’t wait for me!
Here is a time-lapse I shot from Niles Beach, looking over towards Magnolia. I sped 6 minutes of video up to 18 seconds, and the fog looked like it was dancing. Thus the name: “Dance of the Sea Smoke”.
National Geographic describes this phenomena as advection fog:
Advection fog forms when warm, moist air passes over a cool surface. This process is called advection, a scientific name describing the movement of fluid. In the atmosphere, the fluid is wind. When the moist, warm air makes contact with the cooler surface air, water vapor condenses to create fog. Advection fog shows up mostly in places where warm, tropical air meets cooler ocean water.
Good Morning Gloucester
