  • Abstract
    Results of numerical experiments on model atmospheres obtained from radiosonde observations indicate that the contribution of the troposphere to the electrical path length at zenith is about 200 cm, and that this length can be inferred to an accuracy of 1 or 2 cm from ground-based microwave radiometric measurements.
