Google established 155mbps connection at about 100km from two free floating balloons in 2016. I was on project and site for this launch, it was very clear morning/day, and atmospheric clarity will certainly affects transmission. These systems are built to recognize and mitigate for expected noise, but I'd imagine atmospheric clarity is always a high-impact variable.
