Short summary
We study aerosol–fog interactions near Paris using a weather and climate model with high spatial resolution. We show that our model can simulate the fog life cycle effectively. We find that the fog droplet number concentrations, the amount of liquid water in the fog, and the vertical structure of the fog are highly sensitive to the parameterization that simulates droplet formation and growth. The changes we propose could improve fog forecasts significantly without increasing computational costs.
