Prediction Method

The document discusses prediction methods for rain attenuation and includes the following key points: - Step 1 calculates the freezing height during rain (HR) based on the latitude and longitude of the station using the equation HR = 0.36 + h0. - Step 2 calculates the slant-path length (LS) below the rain height for elevation angles greater than 5 degrees using the equation LS = HR - HS/sin θ, where HS is the station altitude and θ is the elevation angle. - Figures 1 shows a map of the average 0°C isotherm height above mean sea level based on latitude and longitude coordinates.

Step 1: Freezing height during rain, HR (km) is


calculated from the absolute values of station's latitude
and longitude, both in degrees, as follows:
HR = 0,36 + h0

PREDICTION METHODS FOR RAIN ATTENUATION

Step 2: for > 5o The slant-path length, LS (km), below the rain
height is calculated as:
LS = HR - HS
sin
where HS is the station altitude, above the sea-level, in km and
(degrees) is the elevation angle.
