After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain ionospheric and tropospheric effects on space geodetic techniques as well as appropriate modelling techniques, atmospheric loading effects, and the effect of the atmosphere on Earth rotation.
Geodetic and atmospheric background, ionospheric effects on microwave signals, path delays in the neutral atmosphere, atmospheric pressure loading, atmospheric effects on gravity space missions, atmospheric effects on Earth rotation.
During the oral examination, which takes about 20-25 minutes, students have to answer questions in a conversation. Eventually, it is necessary that the students draw sketches. Exemplary questions are provided in Tuwel.
Usually, oral exams take place every second Monday per month in the afternoon. Please contact the lecturer per email with the request for a date.
There are powerpoint slides, which can be downloaded in Tiss and which cover all topics of the lecture. Additionally, for further reading, there is a book.
