Overview

Detailed view

This dataset contains two layers. 
"FLS_sum" is the amount of detected FLS events in a month.
"FLS_ref" is the amount of possible FLS detection events in a month.
FLS frequency is calculated by the formula FLS_sum/FLS_ref

This dataset contains masks of Fog and Low Stratus (FLS) for Europe.
Time period covered: 2006-01-01 to 2015-12-31
The masks are based on Meteosat Second Generation data that were processed based on the algorithm described in Egli, S., Thies, B., Drönner, J., Cermak, J., & Bendix, J. (2017). A 10 year fog and low stratus climatology for Europe based on Meteosat Second Generation data. Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 143(702), 530–541. http://doi.org/10.1002/qj.2941.
