How Much Attenuation Extinguishes mm-Wave Vertically Pointing Radar Return Signals?

How Much Attenuation Extinguishes mm-Wave Vertically Pointing Radar Return Signals?

Vertically pointing radars (VPRs) operating at millimeter wavelengths measure the power return from raindrops enabling precipitation retrievals as a function of height. However, as the rain rate increases, there are combinations of rain rate and rain path length that produce sufficient attenuation t...
