Abstract

This letter presents a semiempirical model for the estimation of annual cumulative statistics of cloud attenuation. The statistics are predicted from ground-based humidity and temperature measurements. Some of the model parameters have been derived from radiometer measurements carried out at 20 and 30GHz.
