Doug Huffman Posted January 6, 2010 CID Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks for bringing up WildBlues' favorite ignorance. 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 Marsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted January 6, 2010 CID Share Posted January 6, 2010 I don't know what the F you were saying, so I'll just say welcome to the forum and we hope you enjoy it here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted January 7, 2010 CID Share Posted January 7, 2010 The topic is, in general, directly related to Glow-bull Warning. That was my favorite part. aboard Doug Huffman. Enjoy your stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh_0x Posted January 7, 2010 CID Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi, now that makes sense how Doppler radar works. But, guess it wasn't a wasted day...http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Glow-bull+Warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Huffman Posted January 7, 2010 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2010 LMGTFY.com gave my security mess the heebee-jeebees, but, yeah, that's me at PhysOrg.asm. Incidentally, I use <clip!> and massive G00gle filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh_0x Posted January 7, 2010 CID Share Posted January 7, 2010 Honor to meet you and thanks for the advanced Dork. Grr now seeing peak usage slowdown, but still happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
