Abstract :
Presents an example of how a statistically valid radar databank can be used to investigate propagation problems due to rain and other hydrometeors. Other studies under way will extend this analysis to different frequencies, and to different baseline orientations. The same databank is also currently being used to study interference due to hydrometeor scatter
