A Short-Baseline Transmissometer for Visibility Measurement at Small Airfields, Farms, and Roads

Design study (SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED) of a 20.0 m, 550 nm short-baseline transmissometer measuring atmospheric extinction via the Beer-Lambert relation and reporting meteorological optical range via the adopted Koschmieder relation, with a computed performance, fouling, power and maintenance budget. No hardware was built or tested.
