The authors attempted to identify fog using image-processing data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). AVHRR sensors measure radiation at visible, near-infrared, and infrared wavelengths. Attention is confined to daytime...
