Dense fog is not uncommon on San Nicolas Island, where I work as a weather observer at the airport. \u00a0On Monday, March 13, a very shallow layer of dense fog moved over the airport around 8 a.m., and persisted for a couple of hours. \u00a0The scene was rather surreal as the sun was visible through the fog layer. \u00a0As the sun rose higher in the sky, the fog “burned off” and revealed a fogbow towards the west. \u00a0I had seen my first fogbow a couple of weeks earlier here, but it had disappeared by the time I got my camera ready. \u00a0The one today lasted for at least 15 minutes, providing plenty of time to get shots. \u00a0This fogbow was typical in that it was white with very little color to it. \u00a0As the fog dissipated over the airport, so did the fogbow. \u00a0Pictured here with and without the fogbow is the airport control tower.<\/p>\n
