Abstract

The refraction error ε in measurements made with the simple interferometer is found to be similar in nature to the refraction error ε in the conventional radar measurement. For elevation anglesθ > 10°, ε' - ε > 0.05 mrad, when ε is computed after correcting for refraction along the interferometer extrapath S3.
