Nocturnal fog/stratus Over the Northern Plains: CIMSS GOES gallery example (05 March 2001)

GOES-8 10.7-micrometer longwave Infrared (IR) imagery and fog/stratus product imagery are examined for two large areas of fog/stratus across the northern Plains region during the overnight hours on 5 March 2001. One large area of upslope-generated fog/stratus was nearly stationary across much of central South Dakota, southwestern North Dakota, and northeastern Montana, while a second area of elevated stratus was moving westward across Minnesota into eastern North Dakota and extreme northeastern South Dakota.
