Abstract: Abstract The range of visibility largely depends upon the meteorological parameters. A visibility parameter, termed as visibility potential parameter (VPP) is proposed to estimate minimum potential visibility (MPV) during foggy morning. The parameter is defined as the product of two variables, namely temperature, and the inverse of relative humidity. The whole VPP range (0.5–8.5) is divided into sixteen groups from lowest group (0.5–1.0) to highest group (8.1–8.5). The analysis of VPP for the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi (India) shows that all the very dense (visibility:
