Thanks for clarification, Markus.

So, what would a module that puts together an 6s input file (which is what 
Roberta is about to produce if I understood correctly) have to do with a 
visibility map then? Nothing, probably?

Would visibility values in the 6s parameter file be overwritten if a AOD map is 
provided to i.atcorr?
The i.atcorr manual[1] is not particularly clear on this…
In fact handling of visibility map is mentioned as a remaining documentation 
issue in the manual.

Maybe something you could have a look at in your GSoC project, Roberta?

Cheers
Stefan

no, i.atcorr accepts a visibility raster map as input, equivalent to aerosol 
optical depth at 550nm.

Note that internally i.atcorr converts AOD at 550nm to visibility with
v = exp(-log(taer55 / 2.7628f) / 0.79902f);
