Perennial Characteristics of Fog Forming in the Absheron Peninsula

N. Sh. Huseynov*, H. V. Mammadova

In this article, we investigate the frequency of foggy days in the Absheron Peninsula and archipelago from 1991 to 2020. While some climatologists have previously addressed this issue, the categorization of fog recurrence in the aquatorium during this period has been lacking. Therefore, we thoroughly examine the repetition of foggy days in the Absheron aquatorium based on preliminary data from hydrometeorological stations in Baku, Sumgait, Mashtagha, Pirallahi, Chilov, and oil rocks. The research findings reveal that fog in the Absheron aquatorium primarily occurs during the colder months of the year, with the highest recurrence observed in March and April. Notably, the number of foggy days has decreased due to climate change. Additionally, the frequency of fog increases from the peninsula towards the archipelago throughout the year. The outcomes of this fog research hold significant implications for the future operational efficiency of various transportation sectors, particularly aviation. They contribute to our understanding of fog dynamics in the region and can guide decision-making processes in managing potential fog related risks.
