Abstract :
Using six recent years of point rainfall data from seventeen (17) locations in Greece, the CDF of rain for the average year is derived. Original isohyet plots are drawn allowing radio systems engineers to evaluate more accurately the effect of rain to wireless communications systems installed in Greece.
