    Rain Rate and Rain Attenuation Geographical Map for Satellite System Planning in Ghana

    International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 – 8887) Volume 177 – No. 41, March 2020 Rain Rate and Rain Attenuation Geographical Map for Satellite System Planning in Ghana Stephen Akobre Mohammed Ibrahim Daabo Abdul-Mumin Salifu Dept. of Computer Science Dept. of Computer Science Dept. of Computer Science University for Development Studies University for Development Studies University for Development Studies Navrongo, Ghana Navrongo, Ghana Navrongo, Ghana ABSTRACT the rain rate and attenuation. These studies have been carried Good signal reception depends on a reliable communication out mostly in the temperate regions. But the severity of rain link. However, as the signal travels through the effect on the signal, are more pronounce at the tropics and communication medium, several factors affect the quality of equatorial regions where intense rainfall events are common the signal at the receiver. In Ku band digital satellite as compared to the temperate regions. This is reported in the transmission, rain is the major cause of link impairment. work of Ajayi (1996), Moupfouma (1985) and Ojo and Global rain rate and rain attenuation prediction models have Omotosho (2013). been developed to predict rain rate and rain attenuation at Satellite system design requires as input 1-minute rain rate various locations. These models have not been applied and data with various exceedance probabilities. Based on this tested with measured data to determine their prediction many researchers have conducted experiments on their local accuracy in the Ghanaian tropical region. In this paper, the climatological regions to measure 1-minute rain rate and Moupfouma and International Telecommunication Union attenuation. In regions where there are enough data coverage, Recommendation (ITU-R) rain rate models were applied and prediction models have been proposed.

    INFORMATION FOR NEW FAMILIES IN GHANA Anyone who has ever been part of it knows that the world of international schools is a special one. Selecting the right school for your child can be a daunting exercise, particularly if you are moving to Africa for the first time. Children and parents alike experience so many wonderful moments during their time here, which they will cherish for the rest of their lives. We will work hard to ensure you and your children enjoy all the many opportunities and experiences that this multi-cultural environment offers. The PTO welcome committee has been created to give you an insight into our community with the hope that it can help you to make a smooth transition into our school community and assist with life in Ghana. The LCS welcome committee is a very caring, dynamic and friendly group of parents who strive to enable parents to integrate into the life in Ghana. The committee has put together this pamphlet with helpful hints and practical recommendations, including lists of physicians and emergency contacts in the area. The committee will also organise several events, such as a welcome brunch, to help new famlies become familiar with the LCS community. The annual family picnic is another great way to meet the old and new families. Occasional outings can also be arranged depending on the interest shown. In conjunction with the PTO there are several opportunities for those of you who would like to get involved in the activities of LCS. There are many annual functions throughout the year which we always need a helping hand such as: International Day, Bazaar, LCS Birthday Celebrtion, Sporting events, Picnics and many more.
