Abstract

The previously derived DSN Radio Frequency Angular Tropospheric Refraction Model contained an assumption which was subsequently seen to be at a variance with the theoretical basis of angular refraction. The modification necessary to correct the model is minor in that the value of a constant is changed. The accuracy of the modified model is now considered to be: Elevation angle range 90 deg eel> 5 deg 5 deg 2el 2-3 deg refraction a fv (h) dh Maximum error 0.003 deg 0.010 deg _ JNW(h) dh Rep (P.T,Z,RH) © Rop (PTZ) ' "{ND(h) dh
