5203 |a"A Videograph Visibility Meter is calibrated against Meteorological Optical Range (MOR) derived from standard Atmospheric Environment Service transmissometer measurements. We found that the Videographmeasures MOR to within a factor of two with 99% confidence. This error is as large as that found for the Videograph - prevailing visibility calibration data of 1970-1. A possible explanation of this unexpectedresult is the omission of obstruction to vision distinctions from the analysis. We recommend re-locating this experiment to Toronto International Observing Site to permit the inclusion of prevailing visibility, obstruction to vision and ambient illumination in the data base. With this additional information we can calibrate the Videograph or other scatter-type visibility sensors in terms of MOR for individual weather conditions. Also, we can calculate the meteorological observer's visual contrast threshold as a function of ambient illumination"--Abstract.
