Hotspots for Fog Water Harvesting

Fog water is available for harvest on our foggy California coast, as shown by the Coastal Low Clouds and Fog (CLCF) frequency map below. Using these data plus wind speeds and elevation we can predict where the fog water harvesting hot spots are. This modeling work is some of the current research happening in the Weiss Lab.
