Hi Brad, Yes we discussed this very recently on the basis (at least on my side) of the Nautical Almanac. It appears to me that there is a noticeable difference between the two Almanacs. If my interpretation would be correct then the dip would differ between the two Almanacs by Diff[moa]=0.36[moa]*sqrt(H[m]). I am just wondering whether this difference is "real" or only resulting from some misinterpretation. According to my understanding the equation which you indicate should have brackets and read A - [ D(H) - R(H) ], but I may have missed something already before. Marcel
