Tropospheric Modeling from GPS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modeling of Tropospheric Delays Using ANFIS

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Meteorology ((BRIEFSMETEOR))

Abstract

The dynamics of the neutral atmosphere is of great interest to a meteorologist who predicts weather and climatologist who performs climate modeling. Modeling the effect of GPS signals for the above applications require information about the properties of the atmosphere. This chapter provides a modeling of tropospheric delay from the effect of the propagation GPS signals in the atmosphere. The modeling will include the overview of the empirical models of zenith tropospheric delay together with the mapping function.
