This topical issue of the Journal of Pure and Applied Geophysics (PAAG) on ice fog ice clouds
and remote sensing focuses on cold fog and ice cloud microphysics and dynamics in earth's
boundary layer. The measurements from state of art in-situ instruments remote sensing
platforms and simulation results from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are used in
this book. Use of remote sensing platforms including satellites radiometers ceilometers
sodars and lidars as well as in-situ sensors for the monitoring and short term forecasting
of cold fog and ice clouds are required to improve present knowledge. The new scientific
challenges in addition to present knowledge on cold fog and ice clouds are also considered.
University students postgraduates and researchers interested in cold fog and ice clouds
related to forecasting and nowcasting aviation meteorology remote sensing climate
hydrometeorology and agriculture meteorology can benefit extensively from this topical issue.
