Abstract
Doppler data from deep space missions show terrestrial media contamination influences even after least-square fitting. Cross-correlation between solution parameters and the media-induced errors is large enough to adversely affect parameter least-square adjustments. When a scale factor for Cain’s tropospheric refractivity profile is included in the parameter list, the media-induced observed-minuscomputed (O — C) structures do not appear above 15-deg elevation. When the scale factor is not included, O — C structures commence to appear at ~25-deg elevation.
