In this study, wepropose a new method for detecting wet periods by using telecommunicationsCommercial Microwave Links (CML). The purpose of the study is to automaticallyfind rain time slots. attenuation microwave signal, propagatingbetween transmitting antenna and receiving one, due variations ofthe climatic conditions over link, non-stationary signal. When rainevent occurs CML, signal level in...

How much precipitation is contributed by warm rain systems over the tropics? What is the typical size, intensity, and echo top of warm rain events observed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar over different regions of the tropics? What proportion of warm raining areas is actually attached to the edges of cold systems? Are there mesoscale warm raining systems, a...
