Abstract
A simple ray trace method is developed to study the effect in range correction of a radio wave passing through the troposphere with inhomogeneities. Inhomogeneities were simulated from previous observations. The uncertainties in range correction due to the unmodeled horizontal gradient in refractivity are mostly less than 1% for elevation higher than 5 deg. The average uncertainty due to local inhomogeneities, based on nine simulated cases, is below I-m in one-way range correction for elevation angles greater than 5 deg.
