Signal strength

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008870

The magnitude of a received electromagnetic signal from a remote sensing instrument, such as a weather radar or satellite. It represents the power of the returned energy after it has been transmitted, interacted with atmospheric targets like precipitation, and traveled back to the receiver. Signal strength is quantified in units like decibels relative to a milliwatt (dBm) or as a raw power value.
