SURVEY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SHORT-RANGE RADIO PREDICTIONS FROM METEOROLOGICAL DATA

Abstract

The results of a literature survey of weather-related effects on tropospheric radio propagation are summarized and presented in tabular form. Consideration of the available weather data, the prediction probability for various weather factors, and the limited knowledge of radio-weather relationships, leads to the conclusion that only very limited propagation predictions based on weather data are possible at present.
