Abstract
Based on the quasi-measured values of tropospheric refraction, the relation between τ and δR as expressed in Eq.(3) is, proved, and according to the stable feature of refractivity at 9 km above sea level, a simplified method for predicting tropospheric range error is analysed. Some new parameters for linear regression analysis of tropospheric range error are given also.
