Depending on the wavelength of the radiation and the purpose of the measurements, the follow- ing parameters of the electromagnetic wave are measured: ampli- tude, phase, angle-of-arrival, polarisation and frequency. Ac- curate corrections have to be applied to the measurements in order to take into account the effects of the intervening medium between transmitter and receiver. The known solutions use at- mospheric models, special observation programs, remote sensing techniques and instrumental methods. It has been shown that the effects of the earth's atmospheric envelope present a fundamental limitation to the accuracy and precision of geodetic measurements. This applies equally to ter- restrial and space applications. Instrumental accuracies are al- ready below the atmospherically induced limitations, and thus the accuracy demands on the geodetic refraction solutions are entering a new magnitude zone. This monograph is primarily devoted to the properties of the at- mospheric effects on various geodetic measurements and to their evaluation. Ten review papers cover the most pressing aspects of the atmospheric effects on geodetic measurement . Ttiese state- of-the art papers were written by eminent specialists in their respective research fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281878802583,"sku":"9783540138303","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540138303.webp?v=1769300490","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/geodetic-refraction-effects-of-electromagnetic-wave-propagation-through-the-atmosphere-9783540138303","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
