Ray tracing evaluation of a technique for correcting the refraction errors in satellite tracking data

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Refraction errors in satellite laser tracking data are evaluated by ray tracing through 3-D refractivity profiles. The results indicate that a range resolution of 1 cm or less appears feasible for satellite elevation angles above 10° if the tracking data are corrected using both spherical and gradient correction formulas.
