Analysis of the Temporal Structural Function of Tropospheric Delay of Radio Waves Using Radio Measurements of the Signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We present the results of a three-year experimental study of propagation of decimeter radio waves in the troposphere. The time analysis of the structural function of tropospheric delay of the decimeter radio waves for the three-year measurements of the GLONASS and GPS signals in a city of Kazan is given. The tropospheric contribution to the variance of the decimeter radio-wave delay is for the first time observed to significantly differ for the variations with time scales 1 to 24 h.
