Short summary
A satellite based surface visibility retrieval has been developed for the GOES-R ABI instrument using MODIS proxy data and validated using independent ASOS surface visibility measurements. Variability in the frequency of clear sky (aerosol) surface visibility retrievals larger than 20 dV is shown to be correlated with seasonal and interannual variability in fire detections, illustrating the importance of smoke from wildfires in regional haze events.
