Tropospheric wet delay is a critical factor in radio communication. Accurate estimation of the wet delay is difficult due to the variability in water vapour. In this study, we aim to model and predict tropospheric wet delay over four tropical locations using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. Results obtained in this study showed RMSE and MAE within the range 18.96–21.16 and 14.08–16.38 respectively. LSTM model was able to capture the different regimes of wet delays in each of the locations under consideration. This approach can significantly improve link budget and planning within tropical regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
