The duration of rainfall events as a function of precipitation rate is investigated in this paper. The experimental data used in this\r\nstudy were measured along a rain gauge network with 8 pluviographs located in the Amazon region. The most important point to\r\nbe highlighted in this study is the evidence of a correlation between rain and fade events durations observed in a 12GHz satellite\r\nlink. This result is quite important under the engineering point of view, once it can be used in the design of improvement techniques\r\nfor low availability satellite systems.
