    Maybe. The problem is whether it is possible to
    predict refraction precisely if the temperature
    (presure, humidity etc. what else?) profiles
    are known. Then the problem splits into two:
    to do such prediction mathematically, and to see
    how these profiles may vary. Both parts seem to be
    solvable.
    
    There should exist enormous statistics of temperature-presure
    profiles under all possible conditions.
    (For example, when I was serving in anti-aircraft artillery,
    we had to input these data to the fire control device several times
    a day. We were obtaining this data from a special weather station).
