Abstract
Continuous monitoring of atmospheric opacity at 22 GHz and 36 GHz, ground meteorological parameters and atmosphere models allow separating absorption in water vapor, oxygen and hydrometeors and predicting atmospheric opacity at RATAN-600 radio telescope in wide band. Design, features and parameters of radiometric modules at 22 and 36 GHz for effective continuous monitoring of atmospheric opacity are described.
