High School Geography: (1) Lima is known as the "city without rain" but has thick fog in winter. Try to explain the reason for its formation.

(1) The reason for thick fog in winter: There is a strong Peruvian cold current flowing off the coast of the mainland. The coastal air comes into contact with the water surface of the cold current, and the lower layer cools, forming a stable inversion layer, and water vapor can only form Fog is difficult to transport upward into clouds and cause rain.

Another: The reason why Lima is called the "Rainless City" is the tropical desert climate. Most of the area is located on the eastern edge of the South Pacific subtropical high. The airflow has a significant sinking effect and is dry in nature. In addition, the prevailing wind direction here (Southeast trade wind) is basically parallel to the sea level, making it difficult for water vapor to rise
