- On a cold winter morning, the most likely place for radiation fog to form is over land that is moist and has clear skies above, especially in low-lying areas such as river valleys and small hollows.
- This happens because during the night, the ground loses heat through a process called radiational cooling. As the ground cools, it cools the air above it.
- When the temperature of the air drops to its dew point, the moisture in the air condenses to form tiny water droplets, which we see as fog. Such conditions are more pronounced during calm and clear nights, allowing more effective heat loss from the surface.
