Estimating meteorological visibility from air chemical and particulate composition
When you want to take into account as many contributing factors as possible, you will need a complete radiative transfer model, preferably a physics-based one (as opposed to fast radiative transfer ...

Is it unusual to see haboobs travel over the Indian Ocean with shelf clouds on top? What conditions can bring all of this about?
Dust storms or haboobs traveling over seas and oceans is a common phenomenon, and will occur in any desert (having loose soil and sand) with a coastline. Such deserts include the Sahara, the Arabian ...

Estimating meteorological visibility from air chemical and particulate composition
This is best answered with the Koschmeider Equation. The Koschmeider Equation which estimates visible range based on the particulate matter is as follows:
Koschmeider Equation (units in ft. or m) = (...
