Communication systems may experience a loss of signal caused by the effects of rain on a radio link. Radar systems may experience interference that distorts the amplitude of the target signal. Any remote sensing system that relies on the propagation of electromagnetic waves must therefore be designed to take these factors into account.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eElectromagnetic Wave Propagation Through Rain\u003c\/i\u003e was written to help system designers in such fields as meteorology, telecommunications, radar, and aircraft guidance systems face the challenge of predicting and compensating for these potentially serious weather-related effects on communication or remote sensing systems around the world and above the surface of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eElectromagnetic Wave Propagation Through Rain\u003c\/i\u003e describes and analyzes the interaction between electromagnetic waves and various forms of precipitation.

The frequency and duration of rain or snow in any given area at any given time can determine the extent to which vital electromagnetic waves may be compromised—causing interference or even failure in a system. The result of more than 30 years of research, \u003ci\u003eElectromagnetic Wave Propagation Through Rain\u003c\/i\u003e provides a clear analysis of attenuation by rain and other forms of precipitation on a wide range of vital communication systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing observations and models, the author offers predictable statistics of rain events which can help to achieve more effective system designs.
