Abstract
The analysis of experimental drop size distributions (DSDs) is useful to characterise rainfall phenomena in order to provide improved attenuation predictions, particularly at millimetre-wave frequencies. A study on disdrometer data collected during five years is being performed with this aim. In this paper, results such as year to year variability of the DSDs for different rainfall rate ranges, or the variation of specific attenuation with drop sizes, are presented.
