Dense Maritime Fog Attenuation Prediction from Measured Visibility Data

چکیده
The benefits of Free Space Optics (FSO) motivate to use it for future high data rate demanding communication applications. However, widespread growth of the technology has been hampered by reduced availability due to weather influences on the link. The fog has been analyzed as the most detrimental for FSO communication. There are some models that predict fog attenuation in terms of visibility. These models are compared with measured attenuation data of dense maritime fog. The comparison has been in terms of Sum of Square Error (SSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). A new model has been proposed that gives the least SSE and RMSE for the measured data.

Referenceless perceptual fog density prediction model
We propose a perceptual fog density prediction model based on natural scene statistics (NSS) and “fog aware” statistical features, which can predict the visibility in a foggy scene from a single image without reference to a corresponding fogless image, without side geographical camera information, without training on human-rated judgments, and without dependency on salient objects such as lane ...
متن کاملPDF Estimation and Liquid Water Content Based Attenuation Modeling for Fog in Terrestrial FSO Links
Terrestrial Free-space optical communication (FSO) links have yet to achieve a mass market success due to the ever elusive 99.999% availability requirement. The terrestrial FSO links are heavily affected by atmospheric fog. To design systems which can achieve high availability and reliability in the presence of fog, accurate and better models of fog attenuation need to be developed. The current...
متن کاملOn the roles of circulation and aerosols in the decline of mist and dense fog in Europe over the last 30 years
Fog and mist are meteorological phenomena that have significant contributions to temperature variations. Understanding and predicting them is also crucial for transportation risk management. It has been shown that low visibility phenomena over Europe have been declining over the past three decades. The trends in mist and haze have been correlated to atmospheric aerosol trends. However, dense fo...
متن کاملEmpirical Relations for Optical Attenuation Prediction from Liquid Water Content of Fog
Simultaneous measurements of the liquid water content (LWC) and optical attenuation have been analyzed to predict optical attenuation caused by fog particles. Attenuation has been measured at two different wavelengths, 830 nm and 1550 nm, across co-located links. Five months measured data have been processed to assess power-law empirical models, which estimate optical attenuation from the LWC. ...
متن کاملVisibility and Fog Forecasting Based on Decision Tree Method
The paper describes a visibility and fog forecasting model developed and used at the Hungarian Meteorological Service (HMS) for last 3 years. The investigated model is a perfect prognostical model (PP). Characteristics of the model, such as input data, statistical approach, decision trees and threshold numbers, are described in this paper. The model was tested for both measured sounding and pre...
