I wonder if a multiple regression against several factors would turn up
anything useful:

 vis = f(humidity,temp,wind,ceiling,elevation,sun_angle,ground_cover)

Not sure how to incorporate sun_angle for values < 0 (i.e., night).  Moon?

ground_cover might allow for dusty areas v. urban settings, etc.

This line of investigation sounds very interesting!
