- Method Detail
  - pathDelay
```
double pathDelay(AbsoluteDate date,
                 GeodeticPoint geo,
                 double elevation,
                 double azimuth)
```
    Calculates the ionospheric path delay for the signal path from a ground station to a satellite.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - current date
    
    geo - the Geodetic point of receiver/station
    
    elevation - the elevation of the satellite
    
    azimuth - the azimuth of the satellite
    
    Returns:
    
    the path delay due to the ionosphere in m
