The sea fog disasters in Taiwan Strait, which is a traffic artery, often lead to life and property losses. This review covers the main achievements of sea fog in the western side of Taiwan Strait and makes a comparison with sea fog research progress in other sea areas, mainly including sea fog synoptic and climatic characteristics, monitoring means, microphysics and numerical prediction researches. The results show that some achievements have been made in terms of sea fog synoptic climatology in the western side of Taiwan Strait. With the development of science and technology, the monitoring method is constantly improving, but the inversion of satellite remote sensing monitoring results still needs further study. The study on microphysical characteristics of sea fog helps to improve the sea fog model and the retrieval technology of satellite remote sensing sea fog, so it will be the next research focus. The numerical simulation of sea fogs in the Taiwan Strait is less reported. With the continuous improvement of observation technology and dynamic statistical method, the sea fog forecast ability for Taiwan Strait can be improved by combining the numerical prediction products with traditional synoptic methods.
