Abstract
This chapter presents a theoretical model which combines the statistical description of communications link performance [9-1] with a statistical description of weather effects. The measured effects of weather, namely atmospheric attenuation and increase in ground receiver system noise temperature, are additive (in decibels). The combined probability density function is therefore the convolution of the separate density functions.
