Improvements of Scintillation Modelling from Radiosonde Observations in the Arctic Region
Satellite-to-ground communications at radio-frequencies above 10~GHz and low elevation angles suffer from increased scintillation. Hence, accurate modelling of this effect is required for the design and operation of those communication links. This work presents two new models for predicting the long...
