Extremely high frequency
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005525
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from 30 to 300 gigahertz (GHz), corresponding to wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 1 centimeter. These frequencies are strongly attenuated by atmospheric gases, particularly water vapor and oxygen, making them suitable for short-range, high-bandwidth communication. They are also used in remote sensing applications, such as cloud and precipitation radar.
