Internationally recognized prognostic models of rain fade on terrestrial and Earth-space extremely high frequency (EHF) links rely fundamentally on distributions of 1-min rain rates. In Rec. ITU-R P.837-6, these distributions are estimated from the data provided by Numerical Weather Products (NWPs). NWP yields rain accumulations over regions typically larger than 100 km across and over intervals of 6 h. Over the tropics, the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite data yield instantaneous rain rates over regions 5 km across. This paper uses TRMM data to estimate rain rate distributions for telecommunications regulation over the tropics. Rain rate distributions are calculated for each 1&#x00B0; square between 35&#x00B0; south to 35&#x00B0; north. These distributions of instantaneous rain rates over 5 km squares are transformed to distributions over 1 km squares using a correction calculated from U.K. Nimrod radar data. Results are compared to rain distributions in DBSG3, the database of ITU-R Study Group 3. A comparison with the new Rec. ITU-R P.837-7 is also presented. A table of 0.01% exceeded rain rates over the tropics is provided as associated data.
