Abstract :
Radiometers operating at 11 GHz, measuring sun and sky noise, are providing attenuation data on earth-space paths in a high rainfall coastal area of tropical Australia. Attenuation characteristics over three years, and their relationship to one-minute rain intensity measurements are discussed in this paper.
