The objective of this work is to evaluate GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R series) data-based fog conditions which occurred during the C-FOG (Toward Improving Coastal Fog Prediction) field campaign. The C-FOG campaign was designed to advance understanding of fog formation, development, and dissipation over coastal environments to improve predictability. The project took place along coastlines and open water environments of eastern Canada (Nova Scotia, and the Island of Newfoundland) during August-October of 2018 where environmental conditions play an important role for late season fog formation. During the C-FOG field campaign, coastal instruments were mainly located at the Ferryland supersite, Newfoundland, with two main sites, and five satellite sites, as well as on the Research Vessel Hugh R. Sharp. Key in-situ measurement instruments included microphysical, meteorological, radiation, and aerosol sensors. A fog spectral probe was used for measuring droplet spectra from 1-50 mu m at the Ferryland supersite.
