Visibility Calculations for Microphysical Computer Models,

Abstract

The calculation of visual range in microphysical computer models is discussed. Part I combines material from a number of references into a single discussion of background theory. Part II discusses applications of the theory to actual computer models and presents sample FORTRAN listings. Specific topics include: calculation of visual range in a cloud of either water drops or ice crystals; and, simulation of slant visual range in a multi-level model. A FORTRAN subroutine for calculation of the scattering area coefficient is appended. (Author)
