Abstract
Simultaneous measurements of visibility and mass concentration of airborne dust have been made in rural areas of west Texas and values of the constants C and γ, relating visibility to the mass concentration by the formula MV γ = C, have been calculated and compared with other measured values. The measured values for C appear to depend on factors such as the presence or absence of local erosion, or the distance from the source of the aerosol. The wide variation in values of C, differing by more than an order of magnitude, indicates that there is no single value of C that is generally applicable for relating the mass concentration of soil-derived aerosols and visibility.
