General Navigation USCG Question #1244 (Set 39)

What will act to dissipate fog?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Downslope motion of an air mass along a coast

Downslope air motion induces adiabatic warming as air compresses during descent, lowering relative humidity and effectively evaporating suspended water droplets, thus dissipating fog along coastal areas.
