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.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
