  • Abstract
    The prediction of rain attenuation along slant paths can be improved by taking into account the vertical variation of rain specific attenuation. The authors describe how data from the 3 GHz Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa) have been used to derive a vertical path reduction factor in the rain region
