Abstract :
Measurement of time-varying rain rate has been performed in Surabaya using an optical disdrometer. The results suggest that consecutive samples of rain rate in Surabaya possesses higher correlation than those measured in such non-tropical sites like Barcelona. Attenuation statistics obtained from a simulation study by means of the synthetic storm technique applied to the rain rate time series measurements agree with those predicted by ITU-R only for links of 1-2 km length at outage probabilities in the range of 0.01-0.1%. The simulation results also show that the use of daily and monthly averages of wind velocity does not yield significant differences in the attenuation statistics.
