Frank I recall a lengthy thread on adjusting barometric pressure/refraction for altitudes above sea level but do not recall a definitive answer. The consensus seemed to be that local-station barometric pressures were corrected to sea-level pressures before broadcast (and barometers were likewise adjusted to show sea-level pressures for their permanent location above sea level) . When using your Lunars Calculator, would it behoove the user to correct from reported sea-level pressure to local pressure? Thank you Bill
