/** Base class modifying theoretical range measurements with tropospheric delay.
 * The effect of tropospheric correction on the range is directly computed
 * through the computation of the tropospheric delay.
 *
 * In general, for GNSS, VLBI, ... there is hardly any frequency dependence in the delay.
 * For SLR techniques however, the frequency dependence is sensitive.
