Abstract
Using six (6) years of point rainfall data from several locations in Greece, which were obtained from the National Hellenic Meteorological Service (NHMS), the statistics of rainfall for various percentages of time for the average year are derived. Using the originally derived rainfall statistics, accurate rain rate and attenuation maps are developed for facilitating satellite communications systems design in Greece.
