WebNov 26, 2014 · Airport landing equipment is ranked dependent on the level of visibility it can operate in – from category I through to III. Until now, forward scatter meters – a piece of technology that measures runway visibility – have been approved only for use in supporting Category I operations. WebAGIVIS FSM is a forward scatter-based Runway Visual Range (RVR) system that provides accurate and flexible capabilities for less than the cost of transmissometer-based equipment. The first generation of AGI RVR systems were developed in co-operation with the UK Met Office and CAA, and AGI has been supplying RVR systems for more than 25 years.
Forward-scatter meter for estimating 10.6-microm aerosol extinction
WebA forward scatter meter is a convenient and accurate method to measure the local visible extinction coefficient in fog and haze. The device works by illuminating with near-IR light … WebFeb 1, 1987 · A forward-scatter meter (FSM) measures the light scattered from aerosols irradiated by a He-Ne laser beam (0.6328 microm) over a narrow angular range in the forward direction and over a path length of 0.5 m. Comparisons are made between the FSM and visible (0.55-microm) and IR (10.6-microm) transmis … libavcodec-dev: command not found

A scatterometer or diffusionmeter is a scientific instrument to measure the return of a beam of light or radar waves scattered by diffusion in a medium such as air. Diffusionmeters using visible light are found in airports or along roads to measure horizontal visibility. Radar scatterometers use radio or microwaves to determine the normalized radar cross section (σ , "sigma zero" or "sigma naught") of a surface. They are often mounted on weather satellites to find wind speed and direct… Webfor the forward-scatter meter PC-based Runway Visual Range (RVR) System. 1.2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The RVR is an essential system consisting of the hardware and software to calculate an estimate of how far down a runway a pilot can see. The objects viewed may be runway lights or runway markings. http://views.cira.colostate.edu/improve/Publications/Principle/EPA_Report/chapter3.pdf libauthen-pam-perl
