English term or phrase: advection fog
Definition from NExTclass.net:
A fog caused by the movement of warm, moist air over a surface with a temperature less than the dew point of the air. Also called sea fog.

Example sentence(s):
  • Unlike radiation fog, advection fog can occur even when it is windy. Also unlike radiation fog, advection fog can occur when the skies aloft are initially cloudy. theweatherprediction.com
  • Southerly flow of unseasonably warm, moist air (temperatures of +20 to +26 C, dew points of +14 to +16 C) over the relatively cool (generally +2 to +5 C) water of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron contributed to the development of large advection fog plumes during the day on 16 April 2002. CIMSS/SSEC/University-Wisconsin-Madison
  • Advection fog is common along the Pacific Coast since surface water along the coast is much colder than the surface water farther offshore. As warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean moves over the colder coastal waters it is chilled from below , lowering it to its dew point forming fog. stormdisplay.weatherbug.com

平流霧


Definition from 天氣在線:
平流霧的形成, 是由於濕暖空氣流經較冷的地面或水面, 氣團底層降溫至露點, 水汽便凝結於塵粒之上. 一般範圍較廣, 持續時間較長, 不分晝夜, 以春夏較多.

Example sentence(s):
  • 廣西柳州出現平流霧奇觀，柳江河畔的建築在霧中 若隱若現，宛如仙境，美不勝收。 - 中國評論新聞  
  • 霧的形成因素相當複雜，依其成因大致可分為輻射霧、平流霧、鋒面霧、蒸氣霧、上坡霧等 。在台灣地區來說，以輻射霧及平流霧最為常見，在冬春季發生的機會最多。 - 氣象小百科  
  • 平流霧飄向島城前海，如同一條銀白色的帶子，纏繞在群樓島嶼之間，像是給海面披上了 一層神秘的面紗. - 青島新聞网
