Short summary
This study uses information theory to enhance rainfall retrieval from attenuation data of commercial microwave links (CML). The framework enables evaluation of the performance of CMLs as rainfall sensors in a probabilistic manner and assessment of information content of an arbitrary variable for the rainfall retrieval, e.g. synoptic type. The study shows that using the information theory concept can also directly improve data processing of attenuation data, in this case dry-wet classification.
