Abstract
In this paper we summarize the findings of three research contracts undertaken in the period 1999-2008. We show that microwave links can provide accurate estimates of path-averaged rainfall and that they can be used for the remote detection of snow and melting snow. They are also shown to be effective in online adjustment of weather radars.
