In this paper, we propose a novel remote sensing method that is adequate for rainfall rate measurements in real time by means of tomographic processing applied to power attenuation measurements made across the microwave links defined by radio base station networks for mobile communication systems. A description of the tomographic algorithms we developed is presented together with some simulation results. These concern rainfall rate estimation applying such algorithms to the current radio base station arrangement over the city of Florence, Italy, while the rainfall field is simulated through weather radar data.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel remote sensing method that is adequate for rainfall rate measurements in real time by means of tomographic processing applied to power attenuation measurements made across the microwave links defined by radio base station networks for mobile communication systems. A description of the tomographic algorithms we developed is presented together with some simulation results. These concern rainfall rate estimation applying such algorithms to the current radio base station arrangement over the city of Florence, Italy, while the rainfall field is simulated through weather radar data.
