Sea smoke refers to a type of fog or mist that is formed by the rapid cooling of moist air over warmer water, creating a cloud of water droplets that resembles smoke. This is most commonly seen in Arctic and Antarctic regions, where the air is very cold and the water is relatively warmer. It is also sometimes called steam fog or evaporation fog.
