A summary is given of all the attenuation data derived since June 1968 from sun-tracking radiometers located at the Appleton Laboratory, Slough. The new results at 37 and 71 GHz include data on the angular variation of attenuation and on the occurrence of fades exceeding specified values.

Inspec keywords: clouds; radiowave propagation; tropospheric electromagnetic wave propagation; solar radiofrequency radiation; rain

Other keywords: 12 to 71 GHz; Sun tracking radiometers; Earth Sun paths; cloud; attenuation data; rain; angular variation

Subjects: Lower atmosphere; Radiowave propagation
