Abstract Fog is a collection of micro drops of water suspended in the air, formed as a result of cooling of moist air. In supercooled air, water droplets freeze, forming ice fog at air temperatures below − 10–15° C. As the ice drop freezes, it forms a core-shell structure. In such a particle, a high-Q Fano resonance is possible, which entails the formation of a magnetic pulse. Our theoretical calculations have predicted the time-dependent formation of Fano resonances in a freezing the outside in water droplet. Time-varying unconventional Fano resonance with magnetic field enhancement yield new method to manipulate light–matter interactions in a freezing water droplet. To the best of our knowledge this mechanism was not discussed previously.
