Abstract:
This dataset contains fog frequencies for Europe averaged over all 30 GWSs (general weather situations) after Hess & Brezowsky. Time period covered: 2006-01-01 to 2015-12-31
A description of the data can be found in this paper:
Egli, S., Thies, B., & Bendix, J. (2019). A spatially explicit and temporally highly resolved analysis of variations in fog occurrence over Europe. Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1–20. https://doi.org/10.1002/qj.3522
The original fog masks are based on Meteosat Second Generation data that were processed based on the algorithm described in Egli, S., Thies, B. & Bendix, J. (2018). A Hybrid Approach for Fog Retrieval Based on a Combination of Satellite and Ground Truth Data. Remote Sensing. 2018.
