Abstract
Results pertaining to vertical profiles of rain rates derived from radar data as well as normalized cumulative probabilities of rain rates, which may be applicable over large areas of the world, are presented. We believe these results to be useful in the areas of earth-satellite rain attenuation modeling and prediction at frequencies above 10 GHz.
