Accumulated Mixed Precipitation Estimation Using Measurements from Multiple Microwave Links
Advances in Meteorology, 2015 Recently, microwave communication networks have been shown to be valuable tools for rainfall monitoring, based on the well-known Power-Law which relates rain-rate to attenuation in microwave frequencies.

Potential of commercial microwave link network derived rainfall for river runoff simulations
Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Commercial microwave link networks allow for the quantification of path integrated precipitation because the attenuation by hydrometeors correlates with rainfall between transmitter and receiver stations.

Humidity Measurements using Commercial Microwave Links
, 2011 Atmospheric humidity strongly affects the economy of nature and has a cardinal part in a variety of environmental processes (e.g. Allan et al., 1999). As the most influential of greenhouse gases, it absorbs long-wave terrestrial radiation. Through the water vapour evaporation and recondensation cycle, it plays a central part in the Earth's energy ...

Missing Rainfall Extremes in Commercial Microwave Link Data Due To Complete Loss of Signal
Earth and Space Science, 2023 An important aspect of rainfall estimation is to accurately capture extreme events. Commercial microwave links (CMLs) can complement weather radar and rain gauge data by estimating path‐averaged rainfall intensities near ground.

Rain Field Retrieval by Ground-Level Sensors of Various Types
Frontiers in Signal Processing, 2022 Rain gauges (RGs) have been utilized as sensors for local rain monitoring dating back to ancient Greece. The use of a network of RGs for 2D rain mapping is based on spatial interpolation that, while presenting good results in limited experimental areas ...

A measurement campaign to assess sources of error in microwave link rainfall estimation [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 We present a measurement campaign to address several error sources associated with rainfall estimates from microwave links in cellular communication networks. The core of the experiment is provided by three co-located microwave links installed between
