At Dusk, After a Heat Thunderstorm, Fog Patches Form on the Open-Air Babno Polje Basin (747m a.s.l.); Internal Karst Region, Loška Dolina/Lož Municipality, Notranjska, Slovenija

01-May-2023

 

A heat T-storm, in the late afternoon, poured 34mm or l/m2 of rain into this area which the setting sun was unable to dry, therefore keeping the humidity close to saturation.

 

The Babno basin/polje is known for the strong nocturnal thermal inversion due to factors that enhance it such as the calcareous bottom and the open-air meadow area, which favor the rapid loss of heat from the ground towards space and a rapid decrease in temperatures from sunset.

 

The decrease in the evening temperature therefore favored the condensation of an already saturated water vapour.

 

In a short time, the entire basin will be covered by dense fog of low height.
