The Taj Mahal in Agra covered by fog as people visit the iconic structure during the holiday season on December 28, 2025. | Photo Credit: PTI Winter fog is a familiar hazard across the Indo-Gangetic Plain, reducing visibility for hours at once. The fog often forms inside polluted air near the ground and polluted events tend to last longer. Forecasters have been trying to understand the fog’s vertical structure, i.e. how thick the fog layer is, because thickness helps determine how long it will persist. New research from IIT-Madras has reported based on 15 years of CALIPSO satellite data that aerosol loading above fog over the Plain thickens fog layers. The top rises while the base stays near the ground, and droplets near the top become larger. The findings were published in Science Advances on January 9. The researchers created a number called AODFOG to estimate how much dust and smoke sat in the air above a layer. Then they looked at a part of the Plain where thick fog occurs often and compared days …
