Abstract
Annual variations of freezing heights are derived using two sources of data over tropical and subtropical regions. The variations show latitude dependence and are compared with the standard distribution used for rain scatter interference prediction procedure. Interference calculations performed using the new set of distributions show some differences at 0.01% exceedance time
