Abstract
Propagation conditions at submillimeter and THz frequencies are severely affected by the influence of the composition and phenomena of the troposphere. This paper is focused on the estimation of total attenuation under non-rainy conditions at 100 GHz and 300 GHz. With this purpose, a variety of yearly meteorological data from Madrid, including radiosoundings, SYNOP observations and non-cosite rain gauge, have been used both to calculate attenuation due to atmospheric gases and clouds, and to introduce a rain detection method. This method allows to filter out rain events and refine the statistics of total attenuation under the scenarios considered. Finally, yearly cumulative distributions have been computed using non-discarded events. It is expected that the behavior of the statistics would be closest to the ones obtained
