Diurnal Variability of Rain and Rain-induced Propagation Impacts at a Tropical Location: A Seasonal Comparison
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used ground-based observations over Kolkata to identify significant features of the diurnal cycle of rainfall during the pre-monsoon and the monsoon days and indicate the distinct variability of rain-induced propagation impairments associated with the rain drop size distribution pattern.

Millimeter-wave attenuation and delay rates due to fog/cloud conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation properties of suspended water and ice particles which make up atmospheric haze, fog, and clouds were examined for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies, and the rates of attenuation alpha (dB/km) and delay tau (ps/km), derived from a complex refractivity based on the Rayleigh absorption approximation of Mie's scattering theory, were derived.
