What is Visibility? n Historically visibility was thought of in terms of the furthest distance one could see a large black object. n From a scenic vista perspective, there’s more interest in color, line, texture, and form of a scenic landscape feature.

How far can you see?

Relationship Between Aerosols and Optical Properties

The extinction coefficient is made up of particle and gas scattering and absorption: where s, a, g, and p refer to scattering, absorption, gases, and particles, respectively. Extinction =
