This project will determine if there is a trend in visibility data
collected in Asheville, NC. It has been shown that air pollution has
been increasing in Western North Carolina, and Brian would like to
determine
if this increase in pollution is translating to a decrease in
visibility. Asheville relies heavily on tourism which is
linked to the beauty of our natural resources. If it is the case that
visibility is decreasing and the trend continues there is a real
possibility
that tourism will be affected which will result in a negative impact on
the
regional economy.
