TL;DR: In this article, a statistical method to predict tropospheric amplitude scintillation parameters along Earth-space microwave links from meteorological data is proposed, based on measurements of surface temperature and relative humidity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical properties of the beacon signals together with their correlation with the concurrent radiometric signal suggest that both scintillation and a variable attenuation mechanism act to produce the field fluctuations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate and compare some of the statistical models for the monthly prediction of clear-air scintillation variance and amplitude from ground meteorological measurements, and compare with measurements from the Olympus satellite beacons at the Louvain-la-Neuve site at 12·5 and 29·7 GHz and at the Milan site at 19·77 GHz during 1992.

TL;DR: A model of C(n)(2) in intermittent turbulence is formulated on the basis of the Tatarskii theory, and a factor is deduced, which gives a measure of the statistical reduction of turbulence that is due to intermittency, within the model framework.

TL;DR: A physical-statistical approach to simulate cloud structures and their upward radiation over the Mediterranean is described, which aims to construct a synthetic database of microwave passive observations matching the climatological conditions of this geographical region.
