Paper Abstract
Transmission property of light through rain is discussed in this paper. Instead of the scattering methods usually used in
predicting rainfall attenuation, the principle of the blotting-out effect of raindrops on light transmission is introduced.
Based on this principle and an accurate raindrop size distribution, an initial model for predicting the attenuation due to
rain is first set up. However, when it rains heavily, this initial model is not accurate enough because the overlap effect
between the projected circles of raindrops is not considered. Therefore, by considering the blotting-out and overlap effect
of raindrops together with an accurate raindrop size distribution, a more accurate model for predicting the attenuation
due to rain is finally derived. Numerical simulations show that this model is in good agreement with experimental
results.
