TLDR
In this paper, real time estimates of cloud attenuation have been made using ground-based microwave radiometric observations of Liquid Water Content at a tropical location, and it is found that the significant amount of clouds attenuation occurs during monsoon season.Abstract:
In this study, real time estimates of cloud attenuation have been made using ground based microwave radiometric observations of Liquid Water Content at a tropical location. It is found that the significant amount of cloud attenuation occurs during monsoon season. Individual case study additionally shows that cloud attenuation can contribute significantly to the overall signal degradation at various frequency bands.read more

Prerain Scintillations of Ku-Band Satellite Signal in Relation to Cloud and Convective Parameters at a Tropical Location
TL;DR: The association of the prerain scintillations with both the cloud thickness and the prevailing convection is indicated and the convective available potential energy has been considered as a parameter indicating the strength of the associated convection.

Pre-rain scintillation of Ku-band satellite signal at a tropical location
TL;DR: In this paper, a strong connection of the pre-rain scintillations with the turbulence associated with convective systems was found. But the role of atmospheric structure constant in enhancing the scintillation effect was not discussed.
