Data Used
in-situ Measurement of Visibility:
VGHS METAR
Cloud liquid water, rw 1 .1C 0.75
Rain, ci 163 .9 C 1.00
Snow, gm 3
Results & Discussions
We establish a relation (here linear) between observed visibility from in-situ and ECMWF
model analyzed Temperature and dew point temperature using December 2014 data and
applied to WRF Model predicted met. Parameters.
