Availability analysis of free-space-optical links based on rain rate and visibility statistics from tropical a climate

Availability is one of the major parameters to measure the performance of Free Space Optics (FSO) communication link. In tropical climate, rainfall acts as a dominant factor that affects the FSO link availability; whereas haze has no significant effect compare with rain. But for longer FSO link d...
