  • Abstract
    Numerical results for attenuation of centimeter waves by rainfall have been computed from J. W. Ryde´s formula. These correct, and considerably extend, the previously published Ryde results. Comparison with available measurements suggests that the agreement is not entirely satisfactory; there is a tendency for measured attenuations to exceed the maximum possible levels predicted by the theory.
