Abstract Atmosphere refraction error is a main error factor to affect synchronization accuracy, tracing accuracy, navigation accuracy and positioning accuracy for various radio systems. On the basis of geometrical optics, the ray tracing method can precisely make this error correction. For the problem that traditional ray
tracing method can not deal with the abnormal atmosphere, ray tracing differential form is derived and then a correction method suitable for arbitrary atmosphere is proposed. The tracing data from ground station are taken to test this method. In addition, the refractive error in evaporation duct is compared with that in
standard atmosphere. The results show that the refractive error of radio wave trapped entirely in the duct has the biggest influence. The proposed method provides technique support for improving the measurement precision of radio system in arbitrary atmosphere.
