Abstract: | Statistical characterizations of rainfall structure over two tropical stations in southern India are reported in this paper based on the 2-year rainfall data. The statistical characterizations has been based on cumulative distribution function, exceedance of threshold values, dependence of the intensity of rainfall on the event duration, seasonal variability, and worst months concept as well as diurnal variability. These results are needed to give the detailed insights to the system designers for the development of communication gadgets needed for better service, serve as a vital tool to estimate signal outages in a year over the region and for proper planning of radio communication in the region. Finally, the study shows that the recent International Telecommunications Union Recommendations (ITU-R) value underestimated rain rate for 0.01% exceedance for the two locations. |
