This dataset contains the approximate two-way atmospheric loss factor1 used in the analysis of radar SNR.  These numbers were taken from  a computer model, so they're "squishy".  Don't rely on them being perfectly accurate.  This equation is most helpful in the context of calculating the Signal-to-Noise of a Synthetic Aperture Radar.
