Abstract
Radar measurements of the reflectivity factor profile of hydrometeors over a range of altitudes are presented for application to international interference co-ordination between satellite Earth-stations and terrestrial stations sharing the same frequencies. The results suggest that a reflectivity profile slope of about -4.5 dB/km is more appropriate than the -6.5 dB/km value currently used.
