Package org.orekit.models.earth.troposphere Description

This package provides models that simulate the impact of the troposphere.

The impact of the troposphere is quantify via the path delay for the signal from a ground station to a satellite. Different ways are used to compute the tropospheric delay:

• Classical empirical computation
• Empirical computation by spliting the delay into hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic parts
• Estimation of the total zenith delay
