Problem: Fog and visibility: prediction models
Fog affects transportation due to low visibility. The deadliest accident in aviation history, the Tenerife airport disaster, which occurred on March 27, 1977, was caused by a dense fog. Airports procedures’ have improved tremendously over the last 40 years, but the technology to identify fog and estimate visibility used by airports is very localized in space. A more reliable methods to identify fog and estimate visibility, which connect local and global variables are possible and are sought.
