10** Determine the constants A and B in the atmospheric refraction model
11** dZ = A tan Z + B tan^3 Z.
12**
13** Z is the "observed" zenith distance (i.e. affected by refraction)
14** and dZ is what to add to Z to give the "topocentric" (i.e. in vacuo)
15** zenith distance.
16**
17** Given:
18** phpa double pressure at the observer (hPa = millibar)
19** tc double ambient temperature at the observer (deg C)
20** rh double relative humidity at the observer (range 0-1)
21** wl double wavelength (micrometers)
22**
23** Returned:
24** refa double* tan Z coefficient (radians)
25** refb double* tan^3 Z coefficient (radians)

27** Notes:
28**
29** 1) The model balances speed and accuracy to give good results in
30** applications where performance at low altitudes is not paramount.
31** Performance is maintained across a range of conditions, and
32** applies to both optical/IR and radio.
33**
34** 2) The model omits the effects of (i) height above sea level (apart
35** from the reduced pressure itself), (ii) latitude (i.e. the
36** flattening of the Earth), (iii) variations in tropospheric lapse
37** rate and (iv) dispersive effects in the radio.
38**
39** The model was tested using the following range of conditions:
40**
41** lapse rates 0.0055, 0.0065, 0.0075 deg/meter
42** latitudes 0, 25, 50, 75 degrees
43** heights 0, 2500, 5000 meters ASL
44** pressures mean for height -10% to +5% in steps of 5%
45** temperatures -10 deg to +20 deg with respect to 280 deg at SL
46** relative humidity 0, 0.5, 1
47** wavelengths 0.4, 0.6, ... 2 micron, + radio
48** zenith distances 15, 45, 75 degrees
49**
50** The accuracy with respect to raytracing through a model
51** atmosphere was as follows:
52**
53** worst RMS
54**
55** optical/IR 62 mas 8 mas
56** radio 319 mas 49 mas
57**
58** For this particular set of conditions:
59**
60** lapse rate 0.0065 K/meter
61** latitude 50 degrees
62** sea level
63** pressure 1005 mb
64** temperature 280.15 K
65** humidity 80%
66** wavelength 5740 Angstroms
67**
68** the results were as follows:

90** The values for Saastamoinen's formula (which includes terms
91** up to tan^5) are taken from Hohenkerk and Sinclair (1985).
92**
93** 3) A wl value in the range 0-100 selects the optical/IR case and is
94** wavelength in micrometers. Any value outside this range selects
95** the radio case.
96**
97** 4) Outlandish input parameters are silently limited to
98** mathematically safe values. Zero pressure is permissible, and
99** causes zeroes to be returned.
100**
101** 5) The algorithm draws on several sources, as follows:
102**
103** a) The formula for the saturation vapour pressure of water as
104** a function of temperature and temperature is taken from
105** Equations (A4.5-A4.7) of Gill (1982).
106**
107** b) The formula for the water vapour pressure, given the
108** saturation pressure and the relative humidity, is from
109** Crane (1976), Equation (2.5.5).
110**
111** c) The refractivity of air is a function of temperature,
112** total pressure, water-vapour pressure and, in the case
113** of optical/IR, wavelength. The formulae for the two cases are
114** developed from Hohenkerk & Sinclair (1985) and Rueger (2002).
115**
116** d) The formula for beta, the ratio of the scale height of the
117** atmosphere to the geocentric distance of the observer, is
118** an adaption of Equation (9) from Stone (1996). The
119** adaptations, arrived at empirically, consist of (i) a small
120** adjustment to the coefficient and (ii) a humidity term for the
121** radio case only.
122**
123** e) The formulae for the refraction constants as a function of
124** n-1 and beta are from Green (1987), Equation (4.31).
