Review of radar measurements of precipitation for the characterization of propagation effects on terrestrial and slant path radio links

Meteorological radars are unique instruments for the observation and measurement of precipitation, of which they can provide extensive information depending on the equipment characteristics. In particular, all radars provide reliable measurements over large areas (100 km in range and even more) and, at the same time, with high spatial detail (from some tenths of meters to some hundreds of meters).
