Definition from
NExTclass.net:
A fog caused by the movement of warm, moist air over a surface with a temperature less than the dew point of the air. Also called sea fog.
Example sentences:
Unlike radiation fog, advection fog can occur even when it is windy. Also unlike radiation fog, advection fog can occur when the skies aloft are initially cloudy. (theweatherprediction.com)
Southerly flow of unseasonably warm, moist air (temperatures of +20 to +26 C, dew points of +14 to +16 C) over the relatively cool (generally +2 to +5 C) water of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron contributed to the development of large advection fog plumes during the day on 16 April 2002. (CIMSS/SSEC/University-Wisconsin-Madison)
Advection fog is common along the Pacific Coast since surface water along the coast is much colder than the surface water farther offshore. As warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean moves over the colder coastal waters it is chilled from below , lowering it to its dew point forming fog. (stormdisplay.weatherbug.com)

Definition from
own experience or research:
Synonyme: Meeresnebel<br />Nebel, der durch die horizontale Übertragung von feuchter Luft auf eine kalte Oberfläche geformt wird, die ausreichend die unteren Schichten der Atmosphäre abkühlt, um sie zu sättigen und zu kondensieren. Im Sommer ist er kalt und tritt von den Meeren (wie z. B. der Nordsee, dem Labrador oder vor der kalifornischen Küste) häufig auf die angrenzenden Küsten über. Im Winter kann die Advektion warmer feuchter Luft über einem kalten schneebedeckten Boden auch diese Art von Nebel produzieren.<br />Anderen Formen des Advektionsnebels sind z. B. Küstennebel, Seenebel oder Seerauch
Example sentences:
Dieser Advektionsnebel an der Küste von San Francisco entsteht, wenn eine Luftmasse horizontal über eine kalte Fläche so lange strömt, bis die Abkühlung den Taupunkt erreicht. Kühlende Fläche ist hierbei das küstennahe Meer. (Wolkengallerie)
