Abstract

Abstract

For a high altitude target like a satellite, the prediction formulas of the, bending angle and distance error due to ray refraction in troposphere are obtained, which can be used to predict the tropospheric refraction for elevation angles higher than 1° and are relatively accurate and simple.
