Matricciani, E., Mauri, M. and Riva, C. (1996). Relationship between scintillation and rain attenuation at 19.77 GHz. Radio Science 31: doi: 10.1029/95RS03475. issn: 0048-6604.

This paper reports a statistical relationship between 1-s averaged rain attenuation (A, in decibels) and standard deviation (&sgr;, in decibels) of simultaneous tropospheric scintillation in 1-s intervals, derived from high-resolution (50 samples/s) experimental 19.77 GHz attenuation time series recorded at Spino d'Adda (45.4 ¿N) in a 30.6¿ slant path to satellite Olympus during an observation time of approximately 1 year. During rain the relationship between scintillation and rain attenuation, suitably separated, can be fit by the power law &sgr;=0.0391A5/12 formula derivable from a turbulent-thin layer model. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
