Abstract :
Slant path brightness temperatures were measured at 72.5 and 82.5 GHz with a multi-channel radiometer. One year of measurements collected at 36° elevation angle in Rome, NY were examined in terms of the attenuation statistics. The radiometric response was modeled with Monte-Carlo solution of the radiative transfer equation. The measured statistics were examined in relation to attenuation prediction models.
