Abstract
Owing to the effect of refraction on the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the terrestrial atmosphere, the direction of propagation is changed. The path of propagation path becomes a curve with an increased path-length so increasing the propagation time. A simplified spherically symmetric atmospheric model is adopted to calculate the delay caused by the path bending, for different zenith distances.
