This paper presents an altitude detection accuracy for long range and multifunction radar. The accuracy is difficult to estimate because it is affected by an time varying atmosphere refractivity. We analyze altitude accuracy with a raytracing simulator with atmosphere refractivity. An altitude error is simulated with measured and modeled refractivity, and the modeled refractivity is used for compensate an altitude accuracy. As a result, the error is modeled with normal distribution function, and analyzed.
