Data for the paper Evaluation of error components in rainfall retrieval from collocated commercial microwave links
by Špačková, A., Fencl, M. and Bareš, V.


The published data for the paper includes rain-induced attenuation and rainfall intensities for commercial microwave links.

The data are stored in text files. Timestamps are in UTC time in format yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS. The data are at 1-min temporal resolution.
