Abstract
A periodic variation of the angular field of view of the receiver during transmittance measurements in dense fogs allowed some scattering characteristics of the medium to be monitored continuously. In addition, the extinction coefficient was evaluated and compared with the width of the forward-scattering curve.Keywords
