A rain height model to predict fading due to wet snow on terrestrial links
This paper was the first to analyse the effects of trends in the incidence of mixed phase hydrometeors on terrestrial telecommunications links. Currently, globally-recognised ITU-R radio propagation models maintained in the P recommendations, assume a stationary climate. This paper identified a fundamental flaw in the verification of these recommendations using the ITU-R database, and demonstrated that in a non-stationary climate, different techniques are required to determine model parameters. This work contributed to a formal question at the World Radio Conference 2012 and Resolution 672, and became a major part of COST IC0802 Final Report Section 2.1.1 (in-press: http://www.tesa.prd.fr/cost/IC0802_documents.html; http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/ict/Actions/IC0802).
