Simultaneous measurements of surface atmospheric parameters and cloud liquid water are used to test and compare the accuracy of three different cloud models.
Attenuation and brightness temperature statistics at 20.6 and 31.65 GHz are analyzed for a year's worth of data. The data were collected in 1988 at Denver and Platteville, Colorado. The locations are separated by 49 km. Single-station statistics are derived for the entire year. Quality control procedures are discussed and examples of their application are given.
