Machine-learned mapping functions for the asymmetric troposphere

Accurate empirical tropospheric mapping functions (MFs) are essential for high-precision geodetic applications such as GNSS and VLBI. However, traditional MFs assume azimuthal symmetry or explicitly model gradients on regular grids, limiting their ability to represent real atmospheric conditions. To address the limitat...
