Abstract :
Values of zenithal attenuation due to molecular oxygen and water vapour are presented, in the frequency range 3¿350 GHz, for a specified model atmosphere, calculated using the most recent formulation of molecular absorption and spectroscopic data. Results are presented in a form allowing simple interpolation within a small error margin.
