Abstract
The refraction error ¿ in measurements made with the simple interferometer is found to be similar in nature to the refraction error ¿ in the conventional radar measurement. For elevation angles ¿ > 10°, ¿ - ¿ > 0.05 mrad, when ¿ is computed after correcting for refraction along the interferometer extrapath S3.
