Abstract
The intensity of amplitude scintillation observed during rain is examined for two pairs of Olympus satellite beacon frequencies. The derived frequency scaling ratio statistics are presented and compared with the long-term theoretical scaling factor valid for turbulence-induced scintillation. The analysis indicates both the deviations of the experimental ratios about the mean level and their dependence upon the fluctuation severity
