Attenuation experienced by commercial microwave links, used for cellular base station backhauling, can be exploited to retrieve rainfall intensity. In this work, we investigate the impact of attenuation data format (minimum and maximum values within a time window of 15 min) on the retrieval of rainfall intensity. To this purpose, we exploit the time series of transmitted and received power levels collected by a network of operational microwave links with high temporal resolution (10 s) in Valmalenco (northern Italy).

Abstract

Attenuation experienced by commercial microwave links, used for cellular base station backhauling, can be exploited to retrieve rainfall intensity. In this work, we investigate the impact of attenuation data format (minimum and maximum values within a time window of 15 min) on the retrieval of rainfall intensity. To this purpose, we exploit the time series of transmitted and received power levels collected by a network of operational microwave links with high temporal resolution (10 s) in Valmalenco (northern Italy).
