P.S: May be one understands now why I encourage members of NavList to compile a similar dataset with measured dips.

The following link leads to a first, gross description of the collected measurements, their related data and to two examples showing how the dataset can be used. ( I hope my version of English is sufficently comprehensible.)

The intention is now trying to find estimates for refraction and dip which agree even better with the measurements than those shown.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTclXHZVFhHY9OtwX2V6unisf2lQbTA_gd54EyQWuq8/edit?usp=sharing
