Precipitation observation using microwave backhaul links in the alpine and pre-alpine region of Southern Germany

Measuring rain rates over complex terrain is afflicted with large uncertainties, because rain gauges are influenced by orography and weather radars are mostly not able to look into mountain valleys. We apply a new method to estimate near surface rain rates exploiting attenuation data from commercial...
