    Warm, moist air over low, flatland areas on clear, calm nights. Radiation fog occurs when the ground cools rapidly and the surrounding air reaches the dew point. This happens with little to no winds.

    An air mass moving inland from the coast in winter. Advection fog occurs when a layer of warm, moist air moves over a cold surface. This is typical in coastal areas with sea breeze, especially in the winter when the land is colder than the sea. Think about the famous San Francisco fog.
