Atmospheric Opacity

Atmospheric Opacity is a dimensionless radiative transfer property that quantifies the degree to which an atmosphere impedes the transmission of electromagnetic radiation through absorption and scattering, distinguishing it from other optical properties by its integral dependence on the vertical distribution of absorbing and scattering constituents across a spectral band.
