Microwave attenuation is a function of droplet size and number in the path.
For the total number = volume, look to the definition of dBZ used in Doppler weather radar. It is a meteorological measure of equivalent reflectivity (Z) of a radar signal reflected off a remote object. The reference level for Z is 1 mm^6 m^-3, which is equal to 1 μm^3. It is related to the number of drops per unit volume and the sixth power of drop diameter.
The topic is, in general, directly related to Glow-bull Warning.

Cloud cover with heavy moisture will loss the signal do to it's short wave length,
Gets much shorter with the KU birds.
I also use the formula 2808 divided by the freq in MHz equals a 1/4 wave in inches.
So there is a better understanding how big raindrops will absorb intelligence.
With digital you either have a perfect signal or you don't have one.
A slight signal degradation means nothing about speed.
I love your forum, I'm learning or it was a wasted day, as usual haha
