Measurements of 90-GHz attenuation through the total atmosphere due to absorption by clouds, fog and rain are presented and compared with simultaneous measurements at 16 GHz. It is seen that rain is the most important contributor to atmospheric extinction at 90 GHz, light rain causing greater then 25-dB attenuation on a number of occasions during the measurement period.
