Examples are haze, dust, smoke, fog or ice fog, spray or mist, drifting or blowing snow, duststorms or sandstorms, dust whirls or sand whirls, and volcanic ash. Potentially, all hydrometeors and lithometeors may be obscuring phenomena.
The balloon can also be used to measure the vertical visibility into a layer of fog or blowing snow. In this case the balloon will begin to fade as soon as it is released, so the vertical visibility is when the balloon disappears.
