Abstract :
Proposes a method of estimation of land troposphere refraction using radio setting of navigation satellites of the GPS. Presented design ratio that tie together satellite viewing angle and effective gradients of refraction coefficient in raying troposphere layer is obtained for the equivalent of an Earth radius model. The results of calculation are compared to experimental data which were obtained by satellite setting angles.
