Abstract
This paper considers decimeter radiowave propagation in the troposphere in urban environment. The structure function of tropospheric delay of GPS–GLONASS–derived decimeter radiowaves was analyzed. It was found that for radiopaths over the city, contribution to the dispersion of decimeter radiowave tropospheric delay is significantly different as compared to the contribution of non-urban radiopaths.
