  • Abstract
    An approximate theoretical relationship between rain depolarisation and attenuation, valid for Earth-space paths at microwave and millimetre wavelengths, is presented. The relationship is sufficiently general that it allows the prediction of rain-depolarisation statistics from attenuation statistics available for other frequencies, polarisations and elevation angles.
