Cloud attenuation is calculated from cloud liquid water content (LWC). Cloud liquid water content (LWC) is derived from the radiosonde data using the Salonen model, show a prominent linear variation with the attenuation contribution due to cloud at a tropical location. In this paper, the attenuation contribution due to cloud liquid water content (LWC) and attenuation contribution due to cloud ice water content is studied at different frequencies in the tropical region. Cloud liquid water content shows a greater contribution compared to Cloud ice water content in causing attenuation of signal due to cloud in troposphere.
