Abstract :
A simple analysis of the magnitudes of tropospheric forward scatter in clear air and scatter from rain shows that, in practice, the former mode need not be considered for interference and co-ordination calculations. The co-ordination area will be determined either by super-refraction or by scatter from rain.
