Short summary
We demonstrated the processing of millimeter wave link data with a time resolution of 1 min for 60 dry periods from August 2020 to July 2021. We have proposed a new method for extracting water vapor attenuation values and applied this method to data processing within this year. We found that the water vapor density value obtained from the millimeter wave link is highly correlated with the actual measurement value of the weather station.
