Review an assessment of electromagnetic wave propagation in sand and dust storms at microwave and millimeter wave band - part II

Suspended particles in the atmosphere during sand and dust storms have numerous consequences on electromagnetic wave propagation in arid regions. The electromagnetic wave signal may suffer attenuation and cross polarization upon encounter with the suspended particles. However, meager information...
