Abstract
We provide a method for estimating potential fog water collection (FWCp) from concomitant measurements of visibility (Ω) and wind speed (u). Various passive artificial fog catcher assemblies, wire-harps and screens with cylindrical geometry and uni- or omni-directional square flat gauges, placed at two fog-affected sites in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), were used for calibrating an empirical model of FWCp vs. u-Ω with good fitting performance (0.762 ≤ NSE ≤ 0.921; 0.063 l m−2 ≤ RMSE ≤ 0.247 l m-2). The procedure may be useful for characterization of locations for fog water exploitation, forest fog interception or potential cloud forest distribution.
