Abstract
The different shapes that refractivity profiles may assume during a year are grossly represented by 21 simple analytical expressions. By comparing the results obtained by using ray tracing techniques on these various profiles, it is possible to obtain an approximate bound on the error induced by mapping a tropospheric zenith range effect down to lower elevation angles with the wrong profile. For an elevation angle of 10 deg, these approximate error bounds are 1.3 and 2.6% in the range and doppler effect, respectively.
