Abstract
A model of the melting layer is employed on radar measurements to simulate the attenuation of radio waves at 12, 20 and 30 GHz. The attenuation in the melting layer is simulated to be slightly larger than that of rain with the same path length and precipitation intensity. The result appears to depend on the maximum reflectivity in the melting layer
