MORNING VISIBILITY STUDY FOR SELFRIDGE AFB, MICHIGAN,

Abstract

The study was initiated to develop an objective method of forecasting IFR morning visibility (less than three miles) occurrences at Selfridge AFB, Michigan. Several weather parameters were examined in a search for possible predictors. Some correlation with the later occurrence of IFR visibility was noted between the following parameters, each recorded three hours before sunrise: temperature-dew point spread, wind speed, visibility, and geostrophic wind direction. Two diagrams are provided which are useful in objectively forecasting morning visibility. (Author)
