  Rainfall precipitation maps are usually derived based on the measurements
collected by classical weather devices, such as rain gauges and weather
stations. This article aims to show the benefits obtained by opportunistic
rainfall measurements based on signal strength measurements provided by
commercial-grade satellite terminals (e.g., used in TV broadcasting). To assess
not only the feasibility of this approach, with significant advantages in terms
of capital and operational expenditure, but also improvements in terms of
accuracy, we focus on a case study for agricultural applications using a
Gaussian-modeled synthetic rain over a specific, real-world test area.
