This numerical study focuses on a dense fog event that occurred during the night of 21–22 January 2008 in the Grand Casablanca region, on the northwestern coast of Morocco. This fog event, which lasted for 15 h, is simulated by the mesoscale non-hydrostatic model Meso-NH and analyzed using conventional meteorological observations from two synoptic stations of the region, Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite imagery and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA-Interim reanalysis.
