Abstract
Experimental results of long term attenuation and depolarisation statistics at 20 and 30 GHz using ESA´s Olympus satellite are discussed and compared with current prediction methods. While copolar attenuation (CPA) is accurately estimated, crosspolar attenuation (XPD) is poorly predicted, mainly owing to an inadequate account of the ice depolarisation effect
