Radome attenuation — a serious limiting factor for quantitative radar measurements?
A cover of water, wet snow and/or ice on the radome, the protection sphere around the radar antenna, may cause serious signal attenuation. This is confirmed both by theoretical models and experimental measurements. An illustrative example is the often observed lighthouse effect when a storm passes t...
