With the move of satellite systems towards Ka and Q/V bands, the Alphasat TDP5 Aldo Paraboni scientific experiment aims to characterize atmospheric attenuation in those bands. However, during the retrieval of the attenuation from the measured beacon signal, the clear-sky contribution to attenuation is lost.

Clear sky solar illuminance using visual band irradiance
Solar illuminance may be quantified by applying relevant efficacy functions to available full spectrum ground irradiance. Alternatively, illuminance may be determined by applying the Photopic function to ground level irradiance spectra obtained from the ...

Improving atmospheric path attenuation estimates for radio propagation applications by microwave radiometric profiling [PDF]
Ground-based microwave radiometer (MWR) observations of downwelling brightness temperature (TB) are commonly used to estimate atmospheric attenuation at relative transparent channels for radio propagation and telecommunication purposes.

Evaluation of forward-modelled attenuated backscatter using an urban ceilometer network in London under clear-sky conditions [PDF]
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) of urban aerosols is increasingly sophisticated and accurate. In the absence of large particles (e.g. rain, cloud droplets), information on atmospheric aerosols can be obtained from single wavelength automatic lidars and ceilometers (ALC) that measure profiles of attenuated backscatter (βo).

Simplified Clear-Sky radiative transfer Model (SCSM)
The code includes relevant functions for clear-sky radiative transfer calculations over ocean under low atmospheric aerosol load. The clear-sky radiance over ocean in the visible range (here at 807 nm) depends on a narrow set of parameters and can be ...

Comparison between experimental and satellite temperature datasets in Covenant University
This article contains the ground and satellite meteorological data sets of clear-sky temperature events for five years (2012–2016) in Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. The satellite data were obtained from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)

Analyzing Spatial Variations of Cloud Attenuation by a Network of All-Sky Imagers [PDF]
All-sky imagers (ASIs) can be used to model clouds and detect spatial variations of cloud attenuation. Such cloud modeling can support ASI-based nowcasting, upscaling of photovoltaic production and numeric weather predictions.
