Abstract

Zavizan, the highest meteorological station in Croatia (1594 m) is equipped with instrument for collecting fog water. Fog water collection started with the Grunow type collector in 1954. In the summer of 2000., on Zavizan was installed a standard fog collector ( SFC). This paper discusses the the daily fog water amounts collected with this new collector of the years periods 2000.-2004. during the warm part of the years. The highest daily collection rate was 27.8 l/m² on Octobar 8, 2003. The collected fog water in days without rain was 19.0 l/m² on Octobar 16, 2000. The highest amounts of fog water were collected when the synoptic situation were characterised by west or southwest upper air current with the advection of moist air.
