A simplification of rigorous atmospheric raytracing based on judicious rectilinear paths for near-surface GNSS reflectometry

Abstract Atmospheric delays are known to cause biases in Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) altimetry applications, such as for sea-level monitoring. The main quantity of interest is the reflection-minus-direct or interferometric atmospheric delay. Recently, we have presented...
