  • Abstract
    Previous work on rain spatial classification for terrestrial PMP radio systems has been extended in this communication to stratospheric systems-high altitude platform systems. It was found that the rain spatial parameter concept can also be effectively applied to HAP systems, although specific adjustments have had to be made to the method. The differences between terrestrial and stratospheric systems are discussed with regard to the new derived dependences.
