The Current Status and Future Perspectives of Sea Fog Monitoring and Forecasting in China
Sea fog is one kind of common weather phenomena.The low visibility brought by the sea fog is due to water vapor condensation near sea surface,which may bring adverse effects on many areas,such as port operation,marine transportation,fishing and oil/gas production.Statistics show that 50%to 70%of ship collisions or reef-hitting accidents in China's coastal waters are related to sea fog.In this paper,the main achievements on sea fog monitoring and forecasting in China during the past 20 years are reviewed.It also analyzes the operational support of ground-based sea fog observations,satellite remote sensing,artificial intelligence applications and numerical prediction of sea fog on the national and provincial sea fog monitoring and forecasting.In addition,the shortcomings and weaknesses on the fine visibility monitoring,forecasting and evaluation are discussed.The future perspectives of sea fog operational forecast are put forward concerning sea fog multiple platform collaborative observations,sea fog evolution mechanisms,numerical weather prediction models and objective forecast methods.
