Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We present the results of experimental study of the horizontal structural functions of the tropospheric delay of radio waves and the altitude variations (0–10 km) of the structural function of the radio-wave refractive index, calculated using the data of the networks of the GPS and GLONASS satellite navigational systems spaced at 1–35 km.
