Since the 1990s, mobile telecommunication networks have gradually become denser around the world. Nowadays, large parts of their backhaul network consist of commercial microwave links (CMLs). Since CML signals are attenuated by rainfall, the exploitation of records of this attenuation is an innovative and an inexpensive solution for precipitat(...)

Plusieurs facteurs peuvent atténuer le signal radio entre l'antenne émettrice et l'antenne réceptrice. On peut citer : la végétation, les gaz atmosphériques, le brouillard, la vapeur d'eau, les équipements de transmission, la pluie, la température, etc. Les sources d'atténuation varient en fonction du climat et du relief de chaque continent, v(...)
