Senior University of Miami 21 Years Meteorology

"Ni hao! My research is on a sea fog event last March. My mentor is
Professor Gang Fu and my grad student is Miss Jingqian Wang, but I
also claim the 14 others in my office and the other 2 in Prof Fu's
office. Next year will be my fourth and final year at the University
of Miami. My majors are meteorology, math, and physics. I plan to go
to grad school in meteorology. I like weather, the beach, the bead
bracelets that are everywhere in China, the internet, fighting, and
taking pictures from airplanes. Mountains astonish me. I suggest the
tomato and egg ("xihongshi chao jidan") and meat sticks ("rho"+mime a
stick). I miss the Yin Hai because it felt like summer camp. I think
my high score on the bird and bug tetris game is 2980, and my CS
record is terrible, but I like to get random Chinese kids to help me.
I like to walk to beach 1 alone at night and discover magical tiki
huts and underground KFC. My favorite are the mushrooms though…"

Analysis and Modeling of a Sea Fog Event over the Yellow Sea on 27 March 2005

In this study, a sea fog event that occurred on 27 March 2005 over the Yellow Sea is investigated.  Satellite imagery, station observations, NCEP reanalysis data and Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) numerical simulation were used.  Synoptic conditions and fog characteristics are described and analyzed to determine the physics behind the event.  The fog formed when warm, moist air was advected northward over the cool water of the Yellow Sea.  The fog dissipated when a cold front brought northerly winds and cool, dry continental air.  

 Visibility was determined by a post-processing calculation based on the mixing ratio of cloud liquid.  The RAMS simulation did a reasonably good job of approximating the event.
