Summary

The theory of absorption and emission of radio frequency energy by atmospheric constituents is reviewed. Theoretical limitations and the problem of predicting atmospheric effects upon satellite communications systems are discussed. A program is outlined to experimentally investigate atmospheric absorption and emission with emphasis placed upon rainfall phenomena using simultaneous measurements of satellite - earth transmission loss and meteorological parameters, including radar measurements of precipitation.
