Classification of snow and rainfall using commercial microwave links
2023The use of Commercial microwave links (CMLs) to estimate rainfall has been under investigation for the past 15 years. CMLs still seem like a promising supplement to standard measurement methods. So far, CMLs have almost exclusively been applied for rainfall only situations.

Deep Learning for an Improved Prediction of Rainfall Retrievals From Commercial Microwave Links
AbstractCommercial microwave links (CMLs) have proven useful for providing rainfall information close to the ground surface. However, large uncertainties are associated with these retrievals, partly due to challenges in the type of data collection and processing.

Wet-Dry Classification Using LSTM and Commercial Microwave Links
2018 IEEE 10th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM), 2018The task of rain detection, or wet-dry classification using measurements from commercial microwave links (CMLs) is a subject that been studied in depth. However, these studies are based on direct measurement of the signal level, which is known to be attenuated by rain.

Can we measure evaporation using commercial microwave links?
2023The aim of this study is to investigate whether it is feasible to obtain evaporation estimates from commercial microwave links, which are normally used for telecommunication. These commercial microwave links are already used to monitor path-averaged precipitation by determining the rain-induced attenuation along the link path. The signal transmitted by

Induced bias in attenuation measurements taken from commercial microwave links
2017 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2017Cellular backhaul networks usually consist of commercial microwave links, known to be sensitive to weather conditions. The management network systems usually provide records of measurements of the transmitted and the received signals levels from the different microwave links for monitoring and analyzing the network performance.

Rainfall Retrieval Through Commercial Microwave Links in Valmalenco (North Italy)
2020 XXXIIIrd General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science, 2020The signals transmitted across commercial microwave links used for cellular base station backhauling can be opportunistically processed to retrieve rainfall. In this work, we assess the potential and limitations of this technique when applied in a particularly hostile Alpine environment (Valmalenco, northern Italy).

Harnessing Commercial Microwave Link Data for Rainfall Monitoring in Agriculture
Reliable precipitation data is crucial for agricultural decision-making, as it supports efficient irrigation scheduling, improved water-use efficiency, and risk management. However, conventional rainfall monitoring methods, including rain gauges and remote sensing systems, often fail to provide sufficiently accurate or representative rain estimates ...Tal Weissblat, Noam David

Opportunities for opportunistic sensing of rainfall with Commercial Microwave Links in Nigeria
Near-surface rainfall estimates from Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs) are a viable source of rainfall information in data scarce regions, notably Low and Middle-Income countries in the tropics. CMLs are point-to-point radio links commonly used in cellular telecommunication networks.Bas Walraven +5 more
