Dependence of radio wave attenuation by cloud water content has been investigated by analyzing simultaneous records of the strength of Ku-band satellite downlink and 'insolation'. Preliminary analysis suggests that with increasing cloud coverage in the satellite downlink path, the cloud induced attenuation also increases. The cloud attenuation showed a logarithmic dependence on reduction in insolation. In Fiji, a tropical island country, the maximum attenuation of Ku-band signals by cloud was ~ 11%.

A four-month study of the attenuation measurement on satellite TV transmission down link is reported. The time percentage distributions of the attenuation show a fairly large month-to month variation. However, such variations seem to be closely related to the variation of the rain-rate distribution. Comparison of exceedance and the cumulative rainfall during these four months with those of the ten -year data indicates a similar variation this year. Measurements on a ?cloudy? day without any rain indicate that the attenuation by cloud is small.
