Some aspects of tropical rainfall and their effect on microwave propagation

Some characteristics of tropical rain rate and raindrop size distribution are briefly reported, making use of the data obtained at locations in Nigeria. Models and empirical relations have been obtained for the computation of the effects of tropical rain on radiowave propagation at centimetre and millimetre waves. Results are presented for the effect of integration time on rain rate as well as the rain-rate duration characteristics, rain-induced phase shift, attenuation and depolarization, in addition to the relationship between the rain rate and other rainfall parameters. Comparisons have also been made in many cases with the CCIR reports and results from other locations.
