In this paper the methodology to retrieve the vertical profiles of water vapor starting from microwave measurements is discussed. The novel technique, is based on a microwave radio link and the measure of differential attenuation of two signals transmitted at closely spaced frequencies in the Ku-K band. The capability to gain insight about the water vapour distribution in atmosphere and the potential strong impact on the weather prediction chains is also discussed.

Abstract
In this paper the methodology to retrieve the vertical profiles of water vapor starting from microwave measurements is discussed. The novel technique, is based on a microwave radio link and the measure of differential attenuation of two signals transmitted at closely spaced frequencies in the Ku-K band. The capability to gain insight about the water vapour distribution in atmosphere and the potential strong impact on the weather prediction chains is also discussed.File in questo prodotto:
