Full 360 degree prevailing visibility?
 
Hi all,

Out of curiosity, does any member of the Ng have a site which enables
them to estimate prevailing visibility over 10km using the full 360
degree circle around them?
For the record, my maximum visible objects range from 30-32km 190-350
degrees, to 3-10 km from 350-190 degrees.

Regards,

Ian,

The furthest object I can see from here is an electricity pylon 2 km to
the SW. In all other directions the most distant objects visible are in
the range 30-500 metres. It's not the best site for visibility
observations :-(

Not quite here in Aberfeldy, I can from 90-360. (A short walk of about
300 yards fixes that and i can achieve 360).

Its the conifers you see (or I dont, as it were..)

Not at home but if I climb 500 feet up to the the summit of Rippon Tor (1 mile
away and 1500 feet asl) I can see 10 miles in all directions.

The Bablake School tower has visibility of 6km over the city centre
(see the web cam), but just 1km in the opposite direction because of a
hill.

I think Cairngorm summit might fit the bill, Ian - but few other
recording stations I would think.

How about the top of the Birminham Uni Muirhead tower?

This is actually meant to be serious.

Some Estate Agents take photos (of property) from helium balloons
fitted with cameras. Now that idea has wonderful potential for
weather webcams.
