The Log Normal model for weak turbulences and Gamma-Gamma model for moderate to strong turbulences are being used for calculating the path losses for engineering Free Space Optical (FSO) communication link. Since FSO has been an attractive substitute to overcome the issues of RF spectrum license, high infrastructure cost and difficult terrains to ensure the availability of a network. Their application in mountainous and high density built up areas needs to be exploited. Atmospheric turbulence degrades the FSO communication performance arising due to variations in C n 2 (Refractive index structure parameter). Both these models have the limitation of NOT considering Rainfall parameter while calculating C n 2 . In this present paper we have included effect of Rainfall and presented the modified analytical model by re modeling C n 2 . To validate the impact, comparison of existing model and the modified path loss model has been presented using Meteorological (MET) data for a designed FSO communication link between geographically known mountainous locations of North eastern region of Arunachal Pradesh. The results emphasize that, the modified model is essential to ensure reliable and fail safe FSO link. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
