A foggy morning is not bad if it is occasional. We sometimes have foggy days here in Vancouver. Last night, we had strong inflow from the sea which was rather warm and wet. I could anticipate this fog last night because the warm and wet air mass which contains a lot of water vapor is to be cooled down by radiational cooling causing so called land fog. I learned this idea when I was a student in Japan and have read again in the aviation weather textbook. Anyway, this morning fog was so thick that I couldn't even see the opposite side of False Creek. Of course I won't fly today and am going to study for the coming written exam in my room all day long.
