Abstract:Attenuation statistics resulting from a twelve month observation program are presented. The sun is used as a source of microwave radiation. The dynamic range of atmospheric attenuation measurement capability is in excess of 30 dB. Solar radiation characteristics with amplitude variations of a few percent are easily measured, while at the same time provision is made to accommodate a 10 dB range above the quiet sun level if major solar flare activity occurs. The solar phenomenon was extracted from the data since it is not an objective of the measurement program. A discussion and analysis of the measurement technique is presented in support of the experimental data.
