One-minute integrated rainfall rate statistics from a rain gauge network in Colombia: accuracy of prediction methods

L. Emiliani, L. Luini, and A. Rolon

Reliable rainfall rate complementary cumulative distributions are critical for the design of microwave communications systems operating above around 8 GHz. This letter presents the results of the analysis of more than 5 years of 1-minute integrated rainfall accumulation data for 12 stations. This new dataset will prove useful considering the sharing analyses that must be executed for IMT services in the 24.25-27.5, 37-43.5, 45.5-47, 47.2-48.2 and 66-71 GHz spectrum bands. The resulting statistics can complement the entries in the database of ITU-R Study Group 3 for the region.
