Abstract

This paper presents the monthly average cumulative rainfall data for 24 regions over a 9-year period for giving reliable rain data for tropical countries that are famous for heavy rains. By acquiring the monthly rainfall average from the selected regions, system designers for tropical countries such as Malaysia, Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea (PNG) can be used to devise suitable designs for the rainy seasons of these countries. Signal quality and service for the selected regions can thus be improved.

 

Key words: Rainfall, tropical climate, cumulative distribution.
