Abstract: The four years rainfall accumulation sobserved with respective rain rate has been presented for the location Lat 16.24 Lon 80.45. From the observations the maximum number of occurrences are below 60 mm/hr with an annual accumulation time less than 1.5% in a year. The stratiform and convective rainfall pattern and its effects on the link has been analyzed with respective rain event. The fine resolution rain rate obtained from Micro Rain Radar with 10 seconds integration time has been presented for a rain event. The observed rain attenuation on the20.2 GHz link has been presented for link design analysis.
