A combined method for the visibility range and fog prediction / Zarochentsev G.A., Rubinstein K.G. // Hydrometeorological Research and Forecasting, 2020, no. 1 (375), pp. 113-129.

The paper describes a possibility of the numerical prediction of fog and visibility using several methods based on the output data of the WRF-ARW model with various microphysical schemes, as well as a comparison of their results with the data of frequent observations at the Moscow aerodromes. The combined method for the visibility range prediction proposed by the authors and using the ERA-Interim as initial data and the modified Thompson scheme of cloud microphysics demonstrated a better visibility prediction result than the other analyzed methods.
