Modeling radio propagation effects at V- and W-band using physical-statistical approaches and ground-based data

Radiosoundings data and numerical outputs from a cloud-resolving model in conjunction with a Monte Carlo statistical scheme and a radiative transfer algorithm (SNEM) are used to characterize propagation parameters at V- and W-band in Rome, NY, for any meteorological scenario including clear-air, cloudy coverage, stratiform rain and convective precipitation. The goal aimed at exploiting these databases for the design of simpler estimators of propagation parameters, as well as assessing current ITU models up to W-band in comparison with calculations from physical models.
