  Recently, it was suggested that the Hawking radiation may originate not at
the event horizon but in the quantum region outside of it, known as the quantum
atmosphere. The present study attempts to explore this argument further by
assessing its role in shaping quantum correlations near a black hole. Herein,
these are conveniently captured within the geometric measure of nonlocality,
termed as the measurement-induced nonlocality, and found to exhibit signatures
of the atmosphere. In particular, a notable loss of correlations is observed
well outside the event horizon, coinciding with the peak of particles radiation
in the atmosphere region. Still, the correlations are shown to be always finite
therein and to continuously scale with not only the radiation temperature but
also with the horizon size. Hence, some characteristics of the atmosphere
appears to be detectable at the quantum correlations level, providing novel
insight and means to help verify the concept of interest.
