This book is a collection of our recently-published 12 papers in international journals. It presents the remarkable achievements made during the latest decade of the 21st cenlury in improving our understanding and ability to monitor and simulate the sea fog over the China Seas. The authors of this book havepioneered some of the achievements in sea fog study. The main purpose.s of this book are to summarize the current work on sea fog research， to outline perspectives for ruture sea fog research， as well as to enhance our understanding of sea fog over the China Seas. The book is composed of two parts， Part I: Case study， and Part II: Comprehensive study. We hope that it may provide a useful overview on the current research of sea fog study in China， and it may work as a reference book for researchers and graduate students in the fields of atmospheric sciences and physical oceanographic sciences who have interests to investigate sea fog systematically.
