Abstract
A study of rain rate and rain induced attenuation characteristics over two tropical stations in India has been made. The observed rain rate distributions differ significantly when compared with the CCIR report. The refractive indices have been calculated for certain frequencies at a tropical rain temperature of 20°C showing the variational pattern at different millimeter wavelengths. The present analysis also reveals that in the range 0.05 cm–0.3 cm drop diameter the variations of scattering amplitudes are systematic while in the range 0.4 cm–0.6 cm they are irregular.
