WHAT ARE WE DEALING WITH HERE…?
There are two kinds of frosts:
ADVECTION FROST
Windy Frost,
Arctic Frost or Black Frost
Occurs when a cold air mass (cold front) moves into an area, bringing freezing temperatures with a wind speed usually above 5mph. Possible protection against this kind of frost is very limited.
RADIATION FROST
The more common frost encountered in farming
Occurs when with a clear sky and calm winds the temperatures at ground level drop below freezing point. As temperatures drop, the cold air flows downward to lower topographic areas.
