Autumnal Mild Air Breath Condenses Caressing the Snow; Bloke Plateau, Notranjska, Internal Karst-Dinaric Region, Slovenija

23-November-2022

 

Metulje Basin (716m a.s.l.) Represents the Lowest and Coldest part of the Partly Concave Bloke Plateau, Here the Snow Is Kept for a Long Time Especially with Clear Nights.

 

The formation of stratified and filmy fogs in broad daylight on snow-covered areas is the result of the contrast due to the presence of less cold and very humid air, close to saturation with water vapour.

 

The first snowfall (November 21) this season on the Slovenian Karst-Dinaric area was followed by some sunny days with a legacy of the mildness of the previous days.

 

However the long clear nights, with strong temperature inversions, allowed the snow to compact and resist the few hours of low-lying sun.
