Abstract
This paper examines the observed effects of wind and cloud presence on the intensity and power spectrum of tropospheric scintillation, using propagation data recorded during a three-month period (May-July 1997) at Sparsholt from the ITALSAT satellite beacons at 39.59 and 49.49 GHz. The results show strong correlation between corner frequency and transverse wind speed, a weaker correlation with overall wind speed and a negligible correlation between scintillation intensity and transverse wind speed. Furthermore, it was found that the presence of cumulus clouds led on average to increased scintillation levels and a reduced correlation of the corner frequency with wind speed.
