Rainfall Estimation from Tropospheric Attenuation Affecting Satellite Links

A novel methodology for estimating rainfall rate from satellite signals is presented. The proposed inversion algorithm yields rain rate estimates by making opportunistic use of the downlink signal and exploiting local ancillary meteorological information (0 °C isotherm height and monthly co...
