2 Introduction Seasonal variability of Night microphysics RGB Night microphysics RGB is useful for monitoring low cloud (fog) in nighttime. However, the colors are changed by depending on seasonal variations and climate characteristics (regional dependence). Fog/St Fog/St Summer Jun, 5, UTC Winter Jan, 3, UTC The variability of the colors brings forecasters some difficulties to understand the meaning of the colors. 2
3 Outline of Fog Detection Satellite based threshold Nighttime NWP(T, RH) based threshold Radiosonde (Kushiro) Night microphysics RGB Daytime black : T ( ) blue : Td ( ) Night microphysics RGB hutched area : NWP_RH(Surf) > 90% Natural color RGB General features of (radiation) Fog Relative humidity is high (almost 100%) at surface. Cloud top height is low and the cloud top temperature is similar to the ground surface temperature. Capped inversion layer is formed at cloud top and relative humidity is low above the cloud top. 3

SYNOP Day/Night (24 Hour) Fog Detection Product Daytime Nighttime Number of data Threat Score Bias Score Hit Ratio Misdetection Ratio Undetected Ratio Nearest grid to SYNOP is evaluated. Accuracy is almost same between day and night. Main reason of misdetection and undetected is failure of distinguishing between fog and low cloud (especially stratus). 11
12 Pros/Cons of the fog product Pros Can detect fog at day and night boundary. Can detect fog visible through the gap between the high/middle clouds Cons Can t detect fog under the high/middle clouds. Can t detect ice fog for fear of misdetection of clear sky over snow/ice area. Can t detect local fog such as valley fog that is smaller than the product resolution Fog detection area depends on NWP accuracy and characteristics 12
13 Summary Night microphysics RGB is useful for monitoring low cloud (fog) in nighttime. However, colors of RGB imagery is changed by some features (regional dependence, seasonal dependence). This variability brings forecasters some difficulties to understand the meaning of the colors. We developed Day/Night Fog Detection product. It can display fog area in the same color without regional and seasonal dependence. Main reason of misdetection and undetected is failure of distinguishing between fog and low cloud (especially stratus). Even though we use NWP data, it is difficult to distinguish them. 13
