What is the concern about spectrum leasing and weather prediction?
I am led to understand that a proposed frequency auction by the Federal Communications Commission[^fcc] has been criticized because part of the spectrum is used to gather data on weather systems. How is that frequency used for weather stuff?[^clouds] What is the impact of other devices broadcasting on that frequency? [^fcc]: The FCC is USA's communications regulation agency. [^clouds]: Something about clouds, maybe? I can see clouds with my eyes, though. Why is that spectrum band special?
