Cloud Immersion is a meteorological phenomenon in which a mountain or elevated terrain is enveloped by fog or low-level cloud cover, characterized by the sustained presence of suspended water droplets at or near the surface, resulting in reduced visibility and direct interaction between the landform and the cloud layer.
