The Merrimack R. runs South through the middle of NH down into Mass and
drains into the Atl just N of Boston.

I think Katy is referring to the MERAMEC R. which drains into the Miss. on
the south side of St. Lois, MO.

Could someone tells us where the Merrimac (no k) river is?
Not all of us are inland.

Let me help you. Think 'sea' might be an ad*ective for fog?

See, now I'd have guessed radiation fog, not advection.



Radiation Fog - occurs under clear, calm skies when infrared radiation
(heat) escapes to upper atmosphere and outer space and the air is
cooled to its dewpoint. Sometimes called valley fog or ground fog and
is the most common fog over land in the world.


EG Since I couldn't see under your fog bank in the picture. I wasn't
sure whether it was a valley or river under there.
In all seriousness, where I am, we frequently get a radiation fog from
the land (farm land) around us, which drifts/ blows over the harbor and
out to sea ... the end results can be the same.


Advection Fog - occurs when warm, humid air is cooled to its dewpoint
by coming into contact with a cooler surface below. Snow, ice, and
cold water are common surfaces that cause advection fog.

MC is correct. The Mississippi is cold, and lots of warm air from the
south flows into the delta.

Steam Fog - occurs when cooler air rests above warmer water and vapor
that evaporates into the air cools to its dewpoint. Sometimes called
Arctic sea smoke.

You see this on your local lakes many times, just not to the scale
seen in the artics. And when it starts it weird looking like snakes
growing out of the sea.


You find this frequently when approaching the Gulf Stream, up North.



Upslope Fog - occurs when air is forced to rise up a large slope and
cools (adiabatically) to its dewpoint. Common in mountainous states.

Frontal Fog - also knows as precipitation fog and occurs when rain
drops fall into unsaturated, cooler air below. As the drops evaporate,
water vapor is introduced into the cooler air. Very quickly, the vapor
condenses into a small fog droplet.

Scotty,
Thank you.
Merrimack I know. That was stomping ground many years.
But when someone said between the Mississippi and the Merrimac, it took
about three beats for me to guess that he did not mean somewhere between
the Mississippi River and New Hampshire.

What a coincidence, so does the MERAMEC RIVER. Wonder if their related?
