Assessment of fog gauges and their effectiveness in quantifying fog in the andean páramo
(2021)
In tropical highlands of the northern Andes, known as páramos, fog incidence is very frequent. Its quantification is not yet clear, mostly because of the complexity of distinguishing between fog and low-intensity rainfall. ...
Spatial distribution and interannual variability of coastal fog and low clouds cover in the hyperarid Atacama Desert and implications for past and present Tillandsia landbeckii ecosystems
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2021)
The hyperarid Atacama Desert coast receives scarce moisture inputs mainly from the Pacific Ocean in the form of marine advective fog. The collected moisture supports highly specialized ecosystems, where the bromeliad ...
Fog in the andean páramo: measurements, dynamics, and its influence on soil hydrology and evapotranspiration processes
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-09-15)
The páramo ecosystem is characterized by a very moist climate and the continuous presence of fog
and low-intensity rainfall. The most important páramo feature is the high water regulation capacity
which in part might ...
Ecohydrological drivers of neotropical vegetation in montane ecosystems
(2018)
Montane ecosystems are known for their high numbers of endemic species, unique climate conditions, and wide variety of ecosystem services such as water supply and carbon storage. Although many ecohydrological and climatic ...
Interannual variability of the coastal fog at Fray Jorge relict forests in semiarid Chile
(AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2008-11-01)
The coastal mountains of semiarid Chile are punctuated by patches of fog- dependent evergreen forests. Fog episodes often occur when the prominent coastal topography intercepts a well developed deck of stratocumulus (Sc) ...
Fog deposition to a Tillandsia carpet in the Atacama Desert
(COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2009)
In the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth, fog deposition plays an important role for the water balance and for the survival of vulnerable ecosystems. The eddy covariance method, previously applied for the ...
