    public class RelativisticJ2ClockRangeModifier
    extends AbstractRelativisticJ2ClockModifier
    implements EstimationModifier<Range>
    Class modifying theoretical range measurements with relativistic J2 clock correction.

    Relativistic clock correction of the effects caused by the oblateness of Earth on the gravity potential.

    The time delay caused by this effect is computed based on the orbital parameters of the emitter's orbit.
