Also in SoCal you can easily have the Marine Layer with NO fog, just cloud cover until midmorning.

Fog is also referred to as "marine layer" in Ann Arbor, GT. You know why?
It's Michigan.

It's referred to in Cleveland as "dirty fucking smoke, and probably some farts."

In Loosieanna...they don't call it anything. Science isn't a mandatory class for kids growing up there. They see it and assume aliens are coming. Even after Stephen King's movie, "The Fog" they still have no idea what it is.

Also, when you drive across Alligator alley in the early morning down here, sometimes you get a fog rolling in off the swamp. Is that considered marine-layer? Probably just swamp-layer.

So Sadovin, what is it when the MS River is foged over and on both, the eas & west bank, it's clear? Is that fog or marine layer? How does marine layer form? I don't think it's the same, but that's just my interpretation of it. Fog over a swampy area is kind of the same thing you're talking about over a river area (don't have that kind of river out here). It's low lying mist, right? A marine layer isn't a localized thing and extends hundreds of miles up and down the coast and typically as far inland as the mountains will let it go. It's not a low lying mist. Not to say the coast doesn't get fog, just, at least where I grew up, they don't call coastal fog that is ground level mist a marine layer. I guess to me, when I hear coastal fog I think of the stuff that cuts visibility down at ground level. Maybe can't see the end of the street and such. When I hear a marine layer I think of a day that will be overcast and there'll be little effect on visibility at ground level. It's an overcast that isn't due to a storm front of some sort passing through and the clouds aren't on their way to Nevada and points further east.
