Network Traffic Evaluation Of Microwave Point-To-Point Link Precipitation Predictions

Abstract

Precipitation prediction derived from attenuation of microwave signal by absorption andscattering of raindrops becomes modern supplementary data input for complex weather predictions.This paper deals with the topic of estimation of data volumes incorporated in the process of dataacquisition. Description of network management protocols and its communication with the evaluationof minimum and full data acquisition scenarios is also included. The main goal of this article is todiscuss issues related to data acquisition over network, data traffic volumes and storage concerns ofthe precipitation prediction methods. The conclusion reveals limitations and trade-offs of the process.
