Coastal Fog - Engangiri

Japanese: 沿岸霧 - えんがんぎり
Coastal Fog - Engangiri

Fog that covers coastal areas. Usually it refers to sea fog that flows along the coast or steam fog that forms on the sea, but there is also fog that forms on the coast in areas where cold currents meet the land. In Japan, cities and industries are developed in the coastal areas, so coastal fog can be an obstacle to sea and land traffic.

Japanese:

沿岸部にかかる霧。普通は海霧(うみぎり)が沿岸に流れてきたものや海上にできる蒸気霧をいうが、寒流が陸地に接する地域で沿岸に生じる霧もある。日本では沿岸地帯に都市や工業が発達しているので、沿岸霧は海陸交通の支障となることがある。
