Abstract

In winter there is a spell of about a fortnight, during end of December and beginning of January when persistent fog over plains of northern states of India  occurs every year almost regularly .  In this paper authors have tried  to find the reasons of  persistence of this fog particularly over this area.  The reason envisaged here is in  the large scale circulation .   This diagnosis is for making it a forecasting tool and the study is based on satellite observed cloud imagery  received in the  VIS  and water vapour channels and the derived winds.
