One-way visibility using two parallel aerosol clouds

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In this article, we experimentally and theoretically test the range of applicability of a patent that predicts one-way visibility through two successive parallel aerosol clouds, one scattering dominant and the other absorption dominant. A laboratory environment experiment has been designed to determine the ranges of transmissivity and contrast enhancement that might be of interest for military applications. In this study we show that transmissivities in the several percent range and lower are essential for any reasonable contrast enhancement between the two sides of the clouds.
