An Assessment of Atmospheric Turbulence for CONT05 and CONT08
Other conference contribution, 2009
We present results from the analyis
of simulated VLBI data and compare these to re-
sults from the analysis of actually observed data.
We use a method based upon theory of atmo-
spheric turbulence to simulate the atmospheric
delays. We concentrate on the comparison of
station position repeatabilities for CONT05 and
CONT08. The results show that atmospheric
turbulence is the most important error source for
geodetic VLBI today.
