The most widely used equation for estimating visibility is the Koschmeider equation: (2.4) where L V is the visual range, the distance at which an average person can barely distinguish a dark object (such as a mountain or skyscraper) against the sky. This equation is an approximation, based on an average set of atmospheric particles.
