Therefore, examples of measurements from Prague, Budapest, and Milano are added. Fog attenuation (in combination with cloud) is discussed and Kim formula predicting the fog attenuation from visibility was more or less acknowledged. More accurate results are provided for rain attenuation estimation using the Carbonneau formula. Examples discussing concurrent occurrence of rain, fog, and clouds are analyzed. In the last part, we analyze the attenuation due to atmospheric turbulences concluding that the Rytov formula overestimates the attenuation on one hand, but is in good correlation with the measured attenuation on the second hand.

Experimental results for thin wire and several numerical simulations of forward scattering using approximate esti- mations, physical optics and exact solutions for two-di- mensional scattering are presented both for far and near fields. That allows not only accuracy analyses but also conclusions about scattering and total fields in the pres- ence of objects, which are important for many applications such as communications, bistatic and multistatic radars and electromagnetic compatibility.

This discovered dependence is derived from measurements (periods with fog and rain events were excluded) and presented in the form of scatter plots. It is possible to express roughly that the attenuation decreases with the sonic temperature (negative correlation coefficient). Trying to understand our results, we added the explanation of the physical quantity sonic temperature in this contribution.

Research paper thumbnail of The role of particular rain drop size classes on specific rain attenuation at various frequencies with Czech data example

The influence of particular rain drop sizes (diameters) is shown concluding that the prevailing contribution is caused by drops of the diameter close to 0.7-1.5 mm when the importance of small rain drops is increasing with the increasing frequency. A 2 step model is suggested not to be able to derive the attenuation only but also to model the rain drop spectra accurately. Conclusions are derived from the typical DSD (which was measured in the Czech Republic and corresponds to the 2.17 mm/h rain rate). The convenience of DSD analytical approximations (DSD models) is also discussed.

Experiment is performed on a mountain observatory Milesovka of severe weather conditions. The empirical relationships on 830 nm only between FSO attenuation A on one hand and atmospheric visibility V or wind turbulent energy ET on the other hand are presented and discussed. In the fog case it was found A= 401.4V-0.5738- 1.462 dB/60m (V in meters) while for the attenuation due to the wind turbulence ET it holds A = 2.112 - 2.213 exp(-0.2867ET) dB/60m (ET in m2s-2, it was derived for 830 nm wave length). A discussion concerning problems of the “clear air attenuation,” atmospheric turbulences and sun shine impact, which was observed as a maximum 2 dB attenuation for a few minutes with a period of 24 hours is added.

We briefly describe used simplifications, which substantially reduce numerical simulations. Using the principle of stationary phase, we can approximate the propagation over a terrain (the PO approximation of the vector problem with a 3-D surface) with a 2-D surface. Moreover, we approximate the reflection coefficient for a surface with random deviations considering the surface standard deviation and the local Fresnel reflection coefficient for the smooth ground. We present the novel computations of physical optics for investigations of radar coverage diagrams. We consider both monostatic and bistatic radars, the far-field antenna measuring ranges, and studies of air refraction index. We validate the calculations by both experimental results and the other numerical simulations. The experimental results changed during seasons and according to terrain and troposphere conditions including vegetation, cultivation, snow, and air temperature and pressure.
