The presence of the melting-snow layer has significant effects on propagation in two respects, which should be considered in the design of microwave satellite and terrestrial communication links. Namely, these are excess attenuation and enhanced scattering. In this paper, the factors involved in the evaluation of attenuation and scattering due to melting layer presence are presented and analyzed. The results of this analysis are applied to two existing experimental links.
