Additive errors add to true visiblity
RFI, crosstalk, receiver noise, atmospheric emission are
additive
Multiplicative errors muliply the true visibility
Atmospheric absorption and path delays, receiver gain
fluctuations are multiplicative
Multiplicative errors in the Image Plane will correspond to
a convolution in the Fourier domain
Optics distortions (eg. primary beam!), pointing errors,
shadowing, smearing are convolutions
