Abstract :
Performance of the models of dependence between fog attenuation and atmospheric visibility is investigated using two-year experimental data measured on parallel FSO links with wavelengths of 830 and 1550 nm. Models fitted to measured data provide better estimation of attenuation for FSO link planning.
