It\u2019s autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, which means it\u2019s fog season in the Victorian Alps<\/a>. NASA\u2019s Terra<\/a> satellite captured this view of morning fog filling valleys in several national parks across the mountains of eastern Victoria in May. \u00a0<\/p>\nAs nights lengthen with the season, the atmosphere has more time to cool and approach the dew point<\/a>\u2014the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and water vapor can condense into radiation fog<\/a>. Because cold air is denser than warm air, it sinks and drains into valleys, allowing fog to develop there first. In low-elevation areas, radiation fog usually fades as the Sun warms the ground, but it tends to linger in mountain valleys because they remain shaded longer. On this day, geostationary satellite imagery<\/a> shows the fog persisting for about two hours.<\/p>\nFog is a low-lying type of cloud composed of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. The main difference between a cloud and fog is that the base of fog reaches the ground, while the base of a cloud is generally well above the surface. Radiation fog forms in clear, calm conditions at night. In this case, a blast of cold, soggy weather<\/a> primed the region by moistening land surfaces a few days prior to the arrival of a slow-moving high<\/a> that brought calmer, warmer conditions that were conducive to fog formation.\u00a0<\/p>\nMany valleys in the mountains also have rivers, streams, and lakes, which amplified the process by providing a ready supply of water vapor. In the image above, zones of fog have formed along several water bodies, including the Mitta Mitta River, Buffalo River, Livingston Creek, Lake Dartmouth, and Snowy River. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\nAn arch-shaped cloud drifts over Port Phillip Bay in this image captured by the MODIS<\/a> (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA\u2019s Terra<\/a> satellite at 8:19 a.m. local time (22:19 Universal Time) on May 11, 2026.<\/div>\nNASA Earth Observatory \/ Lauren Dauphin<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe same conditions fueled another noteworthy cloud a few hundred kilometers to the southwest.
