Also known as frost smoke; sea mist; sea smoke; steam mist; water smoke. steam fog A type of fog that occurs on water surfaces and appears as steam or condensed water vapor. This type of fog is formed when very cold air passes across a warmer water surface and mixes with the warm air there. For the fog to occur, the temperature should be low—usually around the freezing point or lower—and there should be a marked inversion in the air before it moves over the water. |
