  • Abstract
    It is confirmed that the synthetic storm method is in some way related to one year´s existing attenuation data in Greece, but that also one of the standard models (in particular Lin´s empirical) works as well and even better. Since agreement between prediction and observation has not been clear for the synthetic storm technique, an extension of the present work is now planned to include a longer data sample.
