Enter your data in the fields with green background. Then hit the Enter key.
The values are given with 4 decimal places, but please keep in mind that this
is not the accuracy!
Unfortunately, the ITU documents do not contain an explicit statement on the
accuracy of the resulting zenith attenuations. It seems plausible to assume that
it is of the order of 1%.
The plot shows the dependence of the zenith attenuation on air temperature (at -10 (black), 0 (gray), 10 (blue), 20 (magenta), and 30 °C (red))
and relative humidity. The light blue area indicates 'normal' conditions in temperate zones.
