Abstract :
Empirical models for specific attenuation (dB/km) at 20/30 GHz were developed from the data on rain drop-size distribution. Effective rain height analysis was carried out over the radiometric data collected using zenith looking radiometers at 20/30 GHz bands at Dehra Dun. Proposed models were compared with existing models.<>
