Abstract
A horizontal Monochromatic Laser Transmission Path (MLTP) was used for monitoring of the transmission change in the urban boundary layer of the city of Leipzig. Measurements of the volume extinction coefficient employing this MLTP were carried out from March 1990 to March 1992. T he influence of relative humidity on the extinction coefficient was co nsidered. According to several weather conditions the relevant influen ce of the predominant air masses and the changing air pollution on the extinction coefficient should be investigated.
