Fog and low stratus clouds in Sasbachwalden
In Sasbachwalden, Germany, the mature fog occupies the valley floor, clearly separated from the overlying stratus cloud deck. This distinct layering highlights the stability of the lower atmosphere and the presence of a temperature inversion, which traps moisture near the surface while allowing drier air aloft. The resulting scene emphasizes the contrast between a dense, low-lying fog and the lighter, stratified clouds above.
