Various effects of the atmosphere have to be considered in space
geodesy and all of them are described and treated consistently in
this textbook. Two chapters are concerned with ionospheric and
tropospheric path delays of microwave and optical signals used by
space geodetic techniques, such as the Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GNSS), Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI), or Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR). It is explained how
these effects are best reduced and modelled to improve the
accuracy of space geodetic measurements. Other chapters are on
the deformation of the Earth’s crust due to atmospheric loading,
on atmospheric excitation of Earth rotation, and on atmospheric
effects on gravity field measurements from special satellite
missions such as CHAMP, GRACE, and GOCE. All chapters have been
written by staff members of the Department of Geodesy and
Geoinformation at TU Wien who are experts in the particular
fields.
