Hint	Answer	% Correct
Fog that is the greatest concern	Advection/Radiation	100%
Mid-level cloud types	Altostratus/Altocumulus	100%
Layer we will first consider ceilings	BKN/OVC	100%
Upper-level clouds types	Cirrus/Cirrostratus/Cirrocumulus	100%
Clouds that come from the exhaust of a plane	Contrails/Distrails	100%
Vertically developed clouds	Cumulus/Cumulonimbus	100%
T or F: Advection fog happens as cold air advects over a warm surface	F	100%
Low-level cloud types	Fog/Stratus	100%
Different types of fog (name any of them! There are 4 types)	Radiation/Advection/upslope/steam	100%
Things to take a look at when forecasting for fog	Radiation/Hydrolapse profile/Mixing/Crossover temperature	100%
Fog that is the least concern	Steam	100%
T or F: Meteograms are a timelapse of weather conditions, and are useful for identifying things such as frontal passages, cloud layers, and cold air damming	T	100%
T or F: The crossover temperature is the lowest dewpoint temperature observed during the warmest part of the day	T	100%
T or F: Steam fog happens when warm waters interact with cool, dry air above it	T	100%
If Air Temp <= Crossover Temp, there will be ______ of visibility	1-2SM/1-2 SM	0%
If Air Temp = Crossover Temp, there will be _______ of visibility	1-3SM/1-3 SM	0%
Upslope fog will occur when moist air is forced up terrain and ________ _______	Cools adiabatically	0%
If MRI >= .040, the layer is ______	Decoupled	0%
The dissipation of radiational fog occurs as the result of _______ _______	Diurnal heating	0%
If the ground temperature is colder than the crossover temperature, there is a ______ fog risk	Greater	0%
If MRI is <= .025, the layer is _____	Mixy	0%
Fog is heavily reliant on ________ forecasting	Persistence	0%
Radiation fog will occur when temperature is reduced to dewpoint from ______ ________	Radiational cooling	0%
Conditions that are favorable for radiation fog formation	Recent precipitation/proximity to body of water/saturated layer above ground/clear skies/light winds/minimal mixing/inversion aloft	0%
If the ground temperature is warmer than the crossover temperature, there is a ______ fog risk	Smaller	0%
