An approach to relate to each other different propagation parameters, based on physical models of tropospheric attenuation

The estimation of slant-path link attenuation in the microwave and millimetre wave bands from other measurable propagation parameters may be of interest to modern satellite communication systems. In this paper, some results are presented regarding the possibility and accuracy of estimating attenuation, and other propagation parameters, on the basis of other ones assumed as available or measured. This approach is based on physical models of gas and cloud attenuation, and radiosounding meteorological data.
