Overview

Detailed view

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.

This dataset contains monthly average fog frequencies 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. & Bendix, J. (2018). A Hybrid Approach for Fog Retrieval Based on a Combination of Satellite and Ground Truth Data. Remote Sensing. 2018.

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:

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.
