Rain Models

Crane 1982 Rain Model

The Crane 1982 rain model is included for backwards compatibility and is superseded by Crane 85. The Crane 1982 rain model uses a world globe divided into the original eight rain regions. Unless Crane with eight rain regions is required, it is recommended to use the Crane 85. For additional information on the atmospheric distribution tables used in the Crane 82 model, refer to "Radiowave Propagation In Satellite Communications", Louis J. Ippolito Jr, 1986.
