Abstract
This part describes the effects of the troposphere—strictly speaking the
neutral atmosphere—on the propagation delay of space geodetic signals. A theo-
retical description of this tropospheric propagation delay is given as well as strate-
gies for correcting for it in the data analysis of the space geodetic observations.
The differences between the tropospheric effects for microwave techniques, like the
