Recently the traffics and transportation hazzards by fog are tremendously Increased. There occurred the greater traffic disaster by Dense Fog of Oct.2006. In this study frequent occurrences of advection fogs centerd over Honam Prov are investigated. Increment of transportation during the Fog period for 1996~2005(decade)are statistically analyzed with Honam Prov.'s fogs. For Honam west coast(Gunsan, Mokpo), inland of Honam(Junju, Gwangju, Suncheon), Honam south coast(Wando, Yepsu), Wind, Dew point, Diff. of air and sea temp. relative humidity are classified between 12 hours before and on time of fog with three Dimensional Analysis System(KLAPS). High frequencies of advection-radiation Fog occurrence in western Coasts except for Suncheon. The application of fog characteristics analyzed by KLAPS for denser fog over the western coast in Fall to Fog prediction and special advisory issues. The advection-radiation fog can occure favorably when the moisture index is less than $2^{\circ}C$, relative humidity is greater than 90%, but the moisture depth is under 1.5 km. In addition when the height of 925 hPa is rising, then fog occurs, but for sinking is disappearing.

The classification of fog type and the characteristics of fog based on fog events over South Korea were investigated using a 3-year (2015~2017) visibility meter data. One-minute visibility meter data were used to identify fog with present weather codes and surface observation data. The concept of fog events was adopted for the better definition of fog properties and more objective classification through the detailed investigation of life cycle of fog. Decision tree method was used to classify the fog types and the final fog types were radiation fog, advection fog, precipitation fog, cloud base lowering fog and morning evaporation fog. We enhanced objectivity in classifying the types of fog by adding the satellite and the buoy observations to the conventional usage of AWS and ceilometer data. Radiation fog, the most common type in South Korea, frequently occurs in inland during autumn. A considerable number of advection fogs occur in island area in summer, especially in July. Precipitation fog accounts for more than a quarter of the total fog events and frequently occurs in islands and coastal areas. Cloud base lowering fog, classified using ceilometer, occurs occasionally for all areas but the occurrence rate is relatively high in east and west coastal area. Morning evaporation fog type is rarely observed in inland. The occurrence rate of thick fog with visibility less than 100 meters is amount to 21% of total fog events. Although advection fog develops into thick fog frequently, radiation fog shows the minimum visibility, in some cases.

A heavy foggy event accompanying with complex coastal fog was investigated in this study. This heavy foggy event occurred on FEB 11, 2015. Due to reduced visibility with this foggy event induced more than 100times serial traffic accidents over the Young-jong highway, and Flights from 04:30 AM to 10:00 AM were cancelled on Inchon International Airport. This heavy foggy event was occurred in synoptic and mesoscale environments but dense coastal fog were combined with a combination of sea fog, steam fog, and radiation fog. This kind of coastal fog can predicted by accurate analysis of the direction of the air flow, sea surface temperature(SST), and 925hPa isotherms from numerical weather prediction charts and real time analysis charts.

To investigate the occurrence characteristics and types of fog on the Korean Peninsula over the past three years (2020 to 2022), data from 96 synoptic meteorological observatories and 21 ocean buoys were collected and analyzed. We included precipitation fog, which occurs after precipitation events, and cloud-base lowering fog, which is caused by the development of lower-level clouds, with a total six subtypes of fog. In the case of cloud-base lowering fog, the occurrence frequency at 2.6% was not high at 2.6%, but the duration of low visibility below 200 m was very long at 6.9 hours. The seasonal frequency of fog is low in spring and winter, high in summer over islands and coastal areas, and high in autumn over inland areas. The frequency of inland fog, which is characterized by high radiation fog and dense fog, requires attention in terms of transportation safety, with an occurrence time of 0500 LST to 1000 LST. Therefore, systematic analysis of precipitation fog and cloud-base lowering, as well as radiation and advection fog, is required in the analysis of recognizing fog as a disaster and causing transportation disorders.

Most of the researches on fog in South Korea have been done based on the naked-eye observation but the number of observation sites is just 22. Considering the localities of fog and various durations, it is essential to utilize more than 250 visibility meters that measure visibility every minute. In this study, the visibility characteristics of visibility meters were compared with that of the naked-eye observation using one year data, 2016, and radiation fog and advection fog cases were analyzed in detail. The concordance rate of the two data set was 0.96~0.97, but discordance rate was 0.19~0.47. In general, visibility meters observed fog more frequently than naked-eye. The correlation between two data sets is clearly dependent on the visibility and geographic locations (fog/thick fog (< 100 m) of inland: 0.86/0.61; fog/thick fog: 0.65/0.73 of island/coastal site). In both fog cases, the fog events observed by naked-eye were consistently detected by visibility meters, and visibility meters clearly well detected very short fog/thick fogs. Formation and dissipation time of fog for the fog cases were similar but fog duration by visibility meters was shorter because of exclusion of temporary dissipated time. In addition, the visibility meters showed a detailed distribution of fog events that occurred simultaneously over South Korea. It would be useful to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of, in particular, thick fog using visibility meters. However, more works are needed for the filtering criteria for analyzing fog using visibility meters alone.

In this paper, we analyzed the physical and thermodynamic characteristics of fog by using the integrated water vapor (IWV) from Global Positioning System (GPS) networks and the regular observation data of meteorological stations in GPS sites. The cases of a radiation and an advection fog were selected as samples, the conversions of water substance from the water vapor to cloud water in fog were detected by the Bulk Water-Continuity Model, and the pattern analysis is adapted on GPS IWV, temperature, wind and relative humidity. Under the specific hypothesis (saturation and stable), GPS IWV could detect quantitatively the phase changing between the water vapor and cloud water content with condensation/evaporation during the formation and dissipation of fog. After it reaches to the saturation, the relative humidity can be a limited indicator for fog. However, GPS IWV can detect the status change of fog even after the saturation. It has indicated that GPS IWV could be a new observing technique for the processes of the fog formation and the dissipation.

In this study, characteristics of fog at Mokpo as the west coastal area of Jeonnam were investigated, using statistical analysis of observed fog and meteorological data. Higher frequency of the fog occurrence at Mokpo was showed in spring(32%) and summer(34%) due to the seasonal high atmospheric pressure. Regional characteristics as radiation cooling, advection of fog and water vapor from surrounding sea and Yeongsan lake, and frontal fog had major effect on the coastal fog at Mokpo on the meteorological conditions of north-west/south wind and calm($0{\sim}2m/s$). Also, as the results of analyzing data of before and after the construction of Yeongsan dam, the frequency of annual mean fog days increased 41 %, specially increased 178% in autumn. The increase of fog days mainly resulted from evaporation during colder seasons and from temperature inversion during warmer seasons over the water surface of Yeongsan lake. The construction of Yeongsan dam had a little effect on the meteorological conditions concerning fog occurrence, because Yeongsan dam which only supplies the water for use do not always carry out outlet of the cold water. In addition, the sea fog at Heuksando located in offshore had not effect on the occurrence of fog at Mokpo.

Visibility and Automatic Weather System(AWS) data near Nakdong river were analyzed to characterize fog formation during 2012-2013. The temperature was lower than its nearby city - Daegu, whereas the humidity was higher than the city. 157 fog events were observed in total during the 2 year period. About 65% of the events occurred in fall (September, October, and November) followed by winter, summer, and spring. 94 early morning fog events of longer than 30 minutes occurred when south westerly wind speed was lower than 2 m/s. During these events, the water temperature was highest followed by soil surface and air temperatures due to the advection of cold and humid air from nearby hill. The observed fog events were categorized using a fog-type classification algorithm, which used surface cooling, wind speed threshold, rate of change of air temperature and dew point temperature. As a result, frontal fog observed 6 times, radiation 4, advection 13, and evaporation 66. The evaporation fog in the study area lasted longer than other reports. It is due to the interactions of cold air drainage flow and warm surface in addition to the evaporation from the water surface. In particular, more than 60% of the evaporation fog events were accompanied with cold air flows over the wet and warm surface. Therefore, it is needed for the identification of the inland fog mechanism to evaluate the impacts of nearby topography and land cover as well as water body.

수영만을 포함한 부산 지방 안개발생의 특징 및 안개 발생에 대한 부산 연안의 역할을 최근 5개년(1984~1988)의 기상 관측자료 및 지상 일기도, 그리고 해양관측자료를 사용하여 조사하였다. 또한 1989년 7월 한 달 동안 수영만에서 관측한 일기상 자료와 표면 수온을 부산지방의 일기상 자료, 표면수온과 비교하였다. 부산 지방의 안개는 5, 6, 7월에 집중적으로 발생하며, 안개 발생시의 주풍향은 수증기 공급이 용이한 남서풍 및 북동풍이었다. 안개 발생과 관련된 기압계 유형은 봄철(3, 4, 5월)이 pattern 7 (이동성 고기압형), 여름철(6, 7, 8월)이 pattern3(정체전선인 33$^{\circ}$N미만에 위치한 형)과 pattern 10(정체전선이 33~36$^{\circ}$N사이에 위치한 형)이었다. 또한 이류무의 발생은 전층 (850~500mb)에 걸친 대기 불안정도의 증가 보다는 하층 대기 (850~700mb)의 한.온 이류와 해표면의 난.한 수온과의 관계에 더 많은 관련성이 있었다. 내륙 지방인 대구 지방의 안개는 강한 야간 복사 냉각에 의해서 가을철 새벽에 발생하나 해안 지방인 부산은 남풍 계열의 바람이 부는 늦봄에서 여름철(5, 6, 7월)에 다량의 수증기 유입으로 높은 상대습도를 가지게 되어 대기가 약간의 복사 냉각에 의해서도 쉽게 과포화에 이르기 때문에 5, 6, 7월에 집중적으로 발생했다. 수영만과 부산지방의 일기상 자료, 표면 수온 및 안개발생일 등은 거의 비슷하며 안개 발생 mechanism 역시 거의 일치한다고 생각된다.
