Commercial microwave links (CMLs) in telecommunication networks can provide relevant information for remote sensing of precipitation and other environmental variables, such as path-averaged drop size distribution, evaporation, or humidity. The CoMMon field experiment (COmmercial Microwave links for urban rainfall MONitoring) mainly focused on the rainfall observations by monitoring a 38 GHz dual-polarized CML of 1.85 km path length at a high temporal resolution (4 s), as well as a co-located array of five disdrometers and three rain gauges over 1 year. The dataset is complemented with observations from five nearby weather stations. Raw and pre-processed data, which can be explored with a custom static HTML viewer, are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4923125 (Špačková et al., 2021). The data quality is generally satisfactory for further analysis, and potentially problematic measurements are flagged to help the analyst identify relevant periods for specific study purposes. Finally, we encourage potential applications and discuss open issues regarding future remote sensing with CMLs.

来自商业双极化双工微波链路的一年衰减数据，同时进行偏差计、​​雨量计和天气观测

电信网络中的商业微波链路 (CML) 可以为降水和其他环境变量的遥感提供相关信息，例如路径平均液滴尺寸分布、蒸发或湿度。CoMMon 现场实验（用于城市降雨监测的商业微波链路）主要通过以高时间分辨率（4 秒）监测 38 GHz 双极化 CML 的 1.85 公里路径长度，以及一个共同定位的 CML 来进行降雨观测。 1 年内五个偏差计和三个雨量计的阵列。该数据集辅以来自附近五个气象站的观测结果。可以使用自定义静态 HTML 查看器探索的原始数据和预处理数据可在 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4923125（Špačková等人，2021 年）获得. 数据质量对于进一步分析通常是令人满意的，并且标记出可能存在问题的测量以帮助分析人员确定特定研究目的的相关时期。最后，我们鼓励潜在的应用并讨论有关未来 CML 遥感的开放性问题。
