    Re: Refraction - Comparing results
    From: Marcel Tschudin
    Date: 2005 Sep 8, 02:27 +0300

    Refering the data send
    
    Noticing identical values for the wet and dry results for the U.S. Standard
    Atmosphere at the horizon is suspicious. A check revealed that the humidity
    did not enter the iterative procedure to calculate the values at the
    horizon. It does not really change much. Just for the sake to have every
    thing right, here the correct values:
    
    U.S. Standard Atmosphere (wet)
    Values at horizon:
    Refraction in arc min 35.18 (changed slightly)
    Alitude (dip) in arc deg -0.0921 (unchanged)
    Dip-factor 1.747 (unchanged)
    K-factor 5.681 (changed slightly)
    
    I think that's it now.
