Determination of Ku-band specific attenuation parameters based on measurements in the tropics by Ismail, Ahmad Fadzil, Badron, Khairayu, Yaccop, A.A.H., Yao, Y.D.

“…Rain attenuation prediction models proposed by ITU-R were reported to offer good estimation for temperate regions but a number of studies reveal that it severely underestimates the concerned signal in the tropics. The study attempted to derive new applicable specific attenuation coefficients using one-year 11 GHz satellite beacon data and rainfall rate measurements in Malaysia. …”

Nitrous Oxide Emission from an Upland Cropping System in the Humid Tropics by Khalil, Mohammad Ibrahim

“…Agricultural soils seem to be its major source, though little attention is given to the soils and upland cropping systems of the humid tropics. Thus, laboratory experiments were carried out to study the impact of N sources, moisture regimes and soil types on N20 production A field experiment was conducted to measure N20 emissions from a maize-groundnut cropping system managed with different N sources. …”
