Le coefficient de trouble définit la quantité d'aérosol contenu dans l'atmosphère à la verticale du lieu considéré et s'applique à la masse d'air traversée. Il peut varier de 0,01 à 0,20 et reste le plus souvent de l'ordre de 0,05 (beau ciel bleu). 2, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20trouble%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
