Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the cloud and rain attenuation at frequencies above 30 GHz, using radiosonde observations and TRMM satellite measurements, respectively, at a tropical location, Kolkata. The location experiences high value of liquid water content (LWC), the main reason for cloud attenuation, during Indian summer monsoon and pre-monsoon season. The rain height variation from TRMM satellite data has also been observed. Rain height varies from 3992 m to 5191 for the years 2004–2010 showing significant interannual variability. The exceedance curve shows higher occurrence in pre-monsoon than in monsoon season for rain attenuation values greater than 10 dB.
