A new method for calculating average visibility from the relationship between extinction coefficient and visibility
Abstract Visibility data are fundamental meteorological observation data widely used in many fields. When using visibility data, it is often necessary to calculate the average visibility, which used to be the arithmetic average of the visibility data directly. In this study, we first analyze the relationship between the visibility, the extinction coefficient, and the atmospheric compositions. Then we propose to use the harmonic average of visibility data as the average visibility, which can better reflect changes in atmospheric extinction coefficients and aerosol concentrations. It is recommended to use the harmonic average visibility in the studies of climate change, atmospheric radiation, air pollution, environmental health, etc.
