Why is it important?

The methodology described in the paper presents the unique advantage of shifting the prediction of total tropospheric attenuation from yearly to monthly basis. This, in turn, can provide engineers with a deeper insight on the expected performance of Earth-space links, typically investigated and predicted only on average yearly (or worst-month) basis.
