Amongst the suspended particles in the atmosphere, water vapor and fog are the most influencing parameters when microwave propagates through the atmosphere. Attenuation due to these along with rain are considered in detail, over Kolkata (22 0 N), India and Cachoeira Paulista (22 0 S), Brazil. Rain, perhaps is considered to be the worst offender in microwave propagation. The rain patterns over Kolkata, Brazil and U.K are compared and hence the attenuation also.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
