Abstract

The fog over Bangalore airport has been analysed. The different favourable conditions on the previous night of the fog day has been studied. Attempts have been made to forecast the fog using different techniques. The Composite method is a new objective method which provides a better technique both in terms of physical principles and statistics. The accuracy of different methods have been calculated for the purpose of comparison. The most important result of the analysis is that the frequency of duration and intensity of fog have gradually increased from the decade of 80s to the decade of 90s which may be due to the increase in pollution of air, other factors remaining unchanged.
