Abstract

We analyze the unique features involved in employing millimeter radio waves to investigate and monitor the earth's atmosphere by means of radio transmissions involving the use of two satellites. We discuss the absorption of radio waves in the atmosphere along the path of the two satellites, depending on the wavelength and the time of year. Signal attenuation is analyzed in the absorption lines of water vapor, oxygen, and in the millimeter transmission range. It is demonstrated that radio transmission probes using the millimeter waves makes it possible to investigate the altitude distribution of moisture, density, and cloud cover.
