Abstract: Electromagnetic measurement of global distances has not merely replaced other forms of distance measurements but has also caused considerable change in survey technique. Electronic Distance Measuring Instrument has had considerable applications in other areas of survey measurements such as the provision of ground controls for aerial photography. Accuracies determined for distance measurements in traversing as presented by their fractional misclosure have currently improved tremendously with the use of these Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments. Calibration of the instrument for maximum operational condition is dependent on the adjustment and prevailing weather conditions under which the instrument is to be used. In most cases, weather conditions at the period of operation remain a major factor in the achievement of the desired accuracy for the measurement intended.
This paper analyses measurements. The effect of weather conditions on the accuracy of horizontal distances measurement with Electronic Distance Measuring Instrument in the tropics, emphasizing on the precision of repeated.
