This project targets improved understanding of how fog works in the northern coastal environment. Communities and other groups operating in the North, such as mining/shipping companies, aircraft operators, Coast Guard, or tourism operators, are all very dependent on surface visibility conditions. Most Northern communities are located on the coast. However, little research focusing on the direct sampling of fog droplets and particles has been performed in the North in the summer.
