Short summary
In this paper we study the influence of the cloud microphysical treatments in high-resolution numerical simulation models on radiation fog events, which are still unsatisfactorily predicted in weather forecasts. Our results showed that the choice of which scheme is used can have a significant impact on the strength and life cycle of the fog.
