Radio frequency allocations for meteorological operations and research (Adopted by AMS council 10 January 1999)

From: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society | Date: April 1, 1999| Author: | Copyright information

1. Introduction

The American Meteorological Society expresses its concern about the negative impact of the erosion in the radio frequency spectrum allocations for research and operational meteorology due to increasing commercial use. Examples include recent infringements on frequencies allocated to millimeter-wave radars, reductions in radiosonde communication bandwidth, and the recent requirement for sharing of several meteorological satellite bands with commercial users. Protection of the traditional weather-related radio bands is critical for the functioning of and improvements to weather ...
