FACTORS CURRENTLY INFLUENCING RMS ERROR IN DOPPLER DATA

Abstract

Estimations are made of the relative importance of the various factors influencing rms doppler errors in TRANSIT satellite data. It is concluded, in general, that for low elevation passes (below 15 degrees) station errors predominate, while for higher elevation passes (above 25 degrees), orbital and refraction errors predominate.
