Definition
Forms over land on clear, calm nights when the ground radiates heat, chilling the air near the surface below its dew point. It does not form over the open sea, but it drifts down rivers and estuaries on a light land breeze and can blanket harbour approaches around sunrise. Moderate wind or daytime heating disperses it, so it usually clears by mid-morning in summer but may persist all day in winter.
