Abstract

Statistics are now complete for all of 1983. Data include frequency distributions of visibility for six height levels. The distributions show a maximum of about 10 km visibility at the 2 m level. With increasing height this maximum moves to a visibility range of about 40 km. Low visibilities are causes chiefly by fog in the 2 - 80 m levels, and by clouds in the 60 - 297 m levels.
