“…As refers to the correlation function of the Bernoulli process derived from rain attenuation ( X = A ) or rainfall rate ( X = R ) time series, several experimental databases have been considered.- Rain attenuation experimental time series X(t) = A(t) (sampling time Δ t = 1s):
- Seven years of rain attenuation time series collected in Spino d'Adda (45.4°N, 9.5°E), Italy, during the ITALSAT propagation experiment at 18.7, 39.6 and 49.5 GHz between 1994 and 2000 ().
- Two years and 5 months of rain attenuation time series collected in Darmstadt (49.86°N, 8.63°E), Germany, during the ITALSAT propagation experiment at 18.7 and 39.6 GHz between 1995 and 1997 ().
- Two years of rain attenuation time series collected in Toulouse (43.57°N, 1.47°E), France, during the HOTBIRD 6 propagation experiment at 19.7 GHz between 2009 and 2011 ().
- Six years of rain attenuation time series collected in Ottawa (45.35°N, 75.89°E), Canada, during the ANIK F2 propagation experiment at 20.2 GHz between 2006 and 2011 ().
- Rainfall rate experimental time series X(t) = R(t) (sampling time Δ t = 60 s):
- Eight years of rainfall rate time series collected in Spino d'Adda (Italy) between 1993 and 2000 ().
- Three years of rainfall rate time series collected in Ottawa (Canada) between 2009 and 2011 ().
