    I must say that I had exactly the same thought when reading George's
    question. It's difficult to guess now why those measurements led him
    to find the difference to what he thought they should be in the effect
    of tides. Or, did he just hesitate to analyse the data before cleaning
    them from tidal effects? I presume that those experiments were
    probably not "unsuccessful" may be only the interpretation of the
    data. It's a pity that people hesitate to publish their measurements
    even if they can't (yet) explain them or if they are still
    "contaminated" by other effects. This sort of data could possibly be
    useful to those who deal with refraction near the horizon. I would be
    interested in them if they still should be "sleeping" somewhere in an
    archive.
