Correlated weather and performance measurement system for extremely high frequency wireless and free space optical communication systems

A correlated weather and communication performance measurement system comprising:

• a processing system configured to process performance data that indicates communication performance for a plurality of communication systems and weather data that indicates weather conditions for a geographic area including the communication systems to generate correlated data that correlates in time the communication performance and the weather conditions for each of the communication systems, wherein the communication systems comprise at least one of extremely high-frequency wireless systems and free space optical systems;
• a communication interface coupled to the processing system and configured to receive the performance data and the weather data;
• and
• a stress introduction system configured to create artificial communication stress conditions for the communication systems.
