Abstract :
In the framework of the Olympus and Italsat satellites experiment, the Politecnico di Milano carried out a campaign aiming to measure brightness temperatures at different frequencies and to estimate some quantities, as water vapour (V), liquid water integrated content (L) and atmospheric attenuation, related to absorption phenomena of interest for radio propagation studies
