VISIBILITY
A measure of the opacity of the atmosphere, and therefore, the greatest distance one can see prominent objects with normal eyesight. The National Weather Service has various terms for visibility. Surface visibility is the prevailing visibility determined from the usual point of observation. Prevailing visibility is considered representative of visibility conditions at the station. Sector visibility is the visibility in a specified direction that represents at least a 45 degree arc of the horizon circle. Tower visibility is the prevailing visibility determined from the airport traffic control tower (ATCT) at stations that also report surface visibility.

VISIBILITY
Broadly, the distance to which an observer can distinguish objects from their background. The concept may apply to both air and water. The determinants of visibility include the characteristics of the target object (shape, size, color, pattern), the angle and intensity of sunlight, the observer's eyesight, and the extent of light absorption and scattering caused by air and water contaminants.

Visibility
In meteorology, visibility is a measure of the distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned.
It is important to all forms of traffic: roads, sailing and aviation. Meteorological visibility refers to transparency of air: in dark, meteorological visibility is still the same as in daylight for the same air.
Aviation. In aviation, visibility is defined as the greater of:
- a) the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions, situated near the ground, can be seen and recognized when observed against a bright background;
- b) the greatest distance at which lights of 1,000 candelas can be seen and identified against an unlit background.
