Analysis of Regional Distribution and Change of Tropospheric Delay

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this article, data of stations distributed over China was used to calculate tropospheric delay. The result was compared with the tropospheric zenith delay calculated from model. The rules and Characteristic of tropospheric delay over China was analyzed from the aspect of altitude, climate, and change. The results showed that the tropospheric zenith total delay decreased from the coast to the central and western regions, the Tibetan plateau is minimum. Zenith wet delays computed from the models also show an absolute bias of over 20 mm with respect to that of sounding data. The standard deviation is more than 30 mm in the tropical monsoon zone.
