DGCA Meteorology Question

Radiation fog forms at night due to surface cooling in light winds. Upward currents and cyclonic movement enhance the growth rate of precipitation. If severe turbulence is encountered during flight, the pilot should reduce air speed to the minimum control speed. Surface winds of 15 knots or stronger can lift advection fog into low stratus clouds. Virga is described as precipitation evaporating before reaching the ground, appearing as streamers trailing below clouds. Latent heat is the heat released or absorbed during phase changes of water. Sublimation occurs when a substance transitions directly from solid to gas phases without becoming liquid. Moist air blowing over mountains can cause changes in cloud cover and precipitation patterns.
