Features: This book collects and organizes rainfall data from 105 meteorological stations across 31 provincial capitals, 60 prefecture-level cities, and 14 counties in China. The content includes annual and monthly average and extreme precipitation amounts, as well as annual and monthly average and extreme rainfall intensities. It provides China's rain climate map and rainfall intensity isohyet maps under seven time probability conditions. It also offers rainfall attenuation values calculated based on the ITU rain attenuation calculation model. The book analyzes the reliability of rainfall intensity data from these meteorological stations, examines the trends of rainfall intensity in China, and provides analysis reports on typical rainfall processes and rain attenuation relationships at experimental stations. This book can serve as a reference for the design of communication satellite transponders in Chinese airspace and for link calculations in Ku-band satellite communications. It can also provide insights into China's rainfall intensity and the effects of rain attenuation for satellite communication technicians.
