Crane 1982 Rain Model
The Crane 1982 rain model is included for backward compatibility and is superseded by ITU-R P618-13. The Crane 1982 rain model uses a world globe divided into the original eight rain regions. Unless Crane with eight rain regions is required, AGI recommends using Crane 1985 or the latest ITU-R P618 version available to you. For additional information on the atmospheric distribution tables used in the Crane 1982 model, refer to "Radiowave Propagation In Satellite Communications", Louis J. Ippolito Jr, 1986.
