Abstract
Using a new type of weather surveillance radar, rain reflectivity measurements are performed in an area around Delft, the Netherlands. In addition, data from the 12 and 30 GHz Olympus satellite beacon, from radiometers and from rain gauges at several locations in the radar coverage area are registered. The rain intensity and rain attenuation is derived from the rain reflectivity. The influence of clutter and other effects on the prediction are discussed. The results show good correlation and a missing 2 dB in the radar equation.
