    Abstract: Computerized method and system for estimating a rain attribute on microwave communications, the estimation being carried out by: obtaining quantized minimum and maximum levels of received signals and transmitted signals over a microwave link during a period; subtracting the quantized maximum level of received signals from the quantized minimum level of transmitted signals to provide a minimal attenuation value; subtracting the quantized minimal level of received signals from the quantized maximal level of transmitted signals to provide a maximal attenuation value; calculating an attenuation difference related to the period by subtracting the minimal attenuation value from the maximal attenuation value; calculating a bias compensated attenuation difference based on the attenuation difference, and bias value related to the microwave link; and calculating the rain attribute, including the average rain during the period, based on the bias compensated attenuation difference.

    Abstract: A computerized method for generating a two-dimensional fog map of a region from a near-ground sensors network of commercial microwave links (CMLs), the region is virtually segmented to a grid of multiple pixels, the method comprises: collecting received signals levels from the CMLs, deriving the links' attenuation that are spread within multiple pixels of the region; calculating the fog induced attenuation attribute for each pixel out of a plurality of pixels of the region based on the microwave attenuation information and deciding if exists; wherein the plurality of pixels belong to the multiple pixels; and generating the two-dimensional fog map of the region based, at least in part, on the plurality of microwave attenuation attributes and the topography of the region; improving the 2-D fog map using information from other types of sensors, if exist.
