Turbidity

</dt>
In meteorology, any condition of the atmosphere which reduces its transparency to radiation, especially to visible radiation. Ordinarily, this is applied to a cloud-free portion of the atmosphere that owes its turbidity to air molecules and suspensoids such as smoke, dust, and haze, and the scintillation effects.
