The refractive error caused by straggling of trajectories is analyzed, as well as the contribution of the refractive lengthening of radio path to the changing of pseudorange in GPS measurements is estimated. Calculations for various frequencies and zenith angles for code variant of the two-frequency method are presented. The spherically-stratified model of ionosphere was used.
