摘要: Disclosed is a satellite weather detection system that uses atmospheric precipitation density data. Subscribers detect the signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio of signals are transmitted from satellite. Upstream transmit power data also collected, which needed to achieve given SNR at gateway. The values downstream as well upstream normalized compared with current can be color coded graphically displayed show patterns. Location velocity high cells tracked predict movement storms.
