Title :
Attenuation by cloud and rain on Earth-Sun paths at 12 to 71 GHz
Author_Institution :
SRC Appleton Laboratory, Slough, UK
Abstract :
A summary is given of all the attenuation data derived since June 1968 from sun-tracking radiometers located at the Appleton Laboratory, Slough. The new results at 37 and 71 GHz include data on the angular variation of attenuation and on the occurrence of fades exceeding specified values.
