My methods are patented and top secret. But if you promise not to
tell...
The atmosphere is an additive combination of a blue scattering media and
a blueish absorption media. The goal was to produce a blue-ing of the
shadow elements in the scene and a reddening of the light elements as a
function of distance. Ultimately the red and blue would merge in a
neutral gray.

I appreciate the manner of control you exhibit in that scene, but
I couldn't get the particular effect of coloration on light and dark
areas I was after with fog.
