Hot and wet conditions in the equatorial or low latitude region degrade satellite positioning accuracy noticeably. The degradation is related to the strong tropospheric effect, especially the wet component which is approximately proportional to the content of water vapor in the troposphere and thus makes satellite positioning more challenging in this region.
Despite the efforts to achieve better understanding of the signal delay in the low latitude troposphere, much more still remains to be improved.
