Short summary
The paper describes a ray-tracing approach for the proper reconstruction of GNSS signal paths through the lower atmosphere, identifies possible error sources during ray tracing and provides a strategy for reducing their effect on the GNSS tomography solution, thereby contributing to a more reliable reconstruction of the 3-D water vapor distribution in the lower atmosphere from GNSS measurements.
