*  Name:
*     palRefz

*  Purpose:
*     Adjust unrefracted zenith distance

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palRefz ( double zu, double refa, double refb, double *zr );

*  Arguments:
*     zu = double (Given)
*         Unrefracted zenith distance of the source (radians)
*     refa = double (Given)
*         tan Z coefficient (radians)
*     refb = double (Given)
*         tan**3 Z coefficient (radian)
*     zr = double * (Returned)
*         Refracted zenith distance (radians)

*  Description:
*     Adjust an unrefracted zenith distance to include the effect of
*     atmospheric refraction, using the simple A tan Z + B tan**3 Z
*     model (plus special handling for large ZDs).

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Patrick T. Wallace
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)
*     {enter_new_authors_here}

*  Notes:
*     - This routine applies the adjustment for refraction in the
*     opposite sense to the usual one - it takes an unrefracted
*     (in vacuo) position and produces an observed (refracted)
*     position, whereas the A tan Z + B tan**3 Z model strictly
*     applies to the case where an observed position is to have the
*     refraction removed.  The unrefracted to refracted case is
*     harder, and requires an inverted form of the text-book
*     refraction models;  the formula used here is based on the
*     Newton-Raphson method.  For the utmost numerical consistency
*     with the refracted to unrefracted model, two iterations are
*     carried out, achieving agreement at the 1D-11 arcseconds level
*     for a ZD of 80 degrees.  The inherent accuracy of the model
*     is, of course, far worse than this - see the documentation for
*     palRefco for more information.
*
*     - At ZD 83 degrees, the rapidly-worsening A tan Z + B tan^3 Z
*     model is abandoned and an empirical formula takes over.  For
*     optical/IR wavelengths, over a wide range of observer heights and
*     corresponding temperatures and pressures, the following levels of
*     accuracy (arcsec, worst case) are achieved, relative to numerical
*     integration through a model atmosphere:
*
*              ZR    error
*
*              80      0.7
*              81      1.3
*              82      2.4
*              83      4.7
*              84      6.2
*              85      6.4
*              86      8
*              87     10
*              88     15
*              89     30
*              90     60
*              91    150         } relevant only to
*              92    400         } high-elevation sites
*
*     For radio wavelengths the errors are typically 50% larger than
*     the optical figures and by ZD 85 deg are twice as bad, worsening
*     rapidly below that.  To maintain 1 arcsec accuracy down to ZD=85
*     at the Green Bank site, Condon (2004) has suggested amplifying
*     the amount of refraction predicted by palRefz below 10.8 deg
*     elevation by the factor (1+0.00195*(10.8-E_t)), where E_t is the
*     unrefracted elevation in degrees.
*
*     The high-ZD model is scaled to match the normal model at the
*     transition point;  there is no glitch.
*
*     - Beyond 93 deg zenith distance, the refraction is held at its
*     93 deg value.
*
*     - See also the routine palRefv, which performs the adjustment in
*     Cartesian Az/El coordinates, and with the emphasis on speed
*     rather than numerical accuracy.
