This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
V = 3.912 / σ (Koschmieder, σ = extinction coefficient km⁻¹)The calculation requires: Extinction Coefficient σ, Contrast Threshold. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
Ensure denominator values (divisors) are non-zero. The calculator validates this, but understanding which fields cannot be zero helps interpret results correctly.
Calculate meteorological visibility from extinction coefficient. Free visibility calculator for visibility, meteorology, and more. It applies the calculation formula (V = 3.912 / σ (Koschmieder, σ = extinction coefficient km⁻¹)). For example: σ = 0.5 km⁻¹ (haze) — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
