The transformation of hourly rain rate data into equivalent one-minute statistics is very useful for microwave systems designers since the hourly rainfall data are more abundant and can be obtained at many locations. An empirical model is proposed for approximating the rain rate conversion factor from 1 h to 1 min integration time in Malaysia.

Inspec keywords: tropospheric electromagnetic wave propagation; microwave propagation; rain

Other keywords: microwave system design; empirical model; integration time; rain attenuation; rain rate; statistical conversion factor; Malaysia; radiowave propagation

Subjects: Radiowave propagation; Asia; Electromagnetic wave propagation and interactions in the lower atmosphere; Water in the atmosphere (humidity, clouds, evaporation, precipitation)
