Aerosol optical depths calculated from surface visibility and water vapor pressure are compared with those observed by sun photometers. The precision of calculated aerosol optical depths is evaluated by root-mean-square deviation and relative deviation. Analysis of calculated aerosol optical depths shows the existence of systemic errors. A factor is introduced to revise the calculated aerosol optical depths, and comparison of revised and observed aerosol optical depths reveals distinct improvement of calculating precision.
