Abstract:Abstract. Atmospheric visibility, or meteorological optical range
(MOR), is governed by light extinction by aerosols. State-of-the-art
visibility sensors, such as employed in meteorological observatories and
airports, infer MOR by measuring either transmittance or scattering. While
these sensors yield robust measurements with reasonable accuracy (10 % to 20 %), they measure in situ. MOR from these sensors may thus not be
representative of MOR further away, for example, under conditions with
stratified aerosol … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
