| Abstract: | We discuss the discrepancy between experimental and calculated values of attenuation in water vapor, which is observed for
a sufficiently low tropospheric temperature (of the order of −30°C). We indicate the high correlation of excessive attenuation
with the quadratic component of tropospheric humidity.
