48* Notes:
49* - To use this routine, first call palRefco specifying WL1 as the
50* wavelength. This yields refraction coefficients A1,B1, correct
51* for that wavelength. Subsequently, calls to palAtmdsp specifying
52* different wavelengths will produce new, slightly adjusted
53* refraction coefficients which apply to the specified wavelength.
54*
55* - Most of the atmospheric dispersion happens between 0.7 micrometre
56* and the UV atmospheric cutoff, and the effect increases strongly
57* towards the UV end. For this reason a blue reference wavelength
58* is recommended, for example 0.4 micrometres.
59*
60* - The accuracy, for this set of conditions:
61*
62* height above sea level 2000 m
63* latitude 29 deg
64* pressure 793 mb
65* temperature 17 degC
66* humidity 50%
67* lapse rate 0.0065 degC/m
68* reference wavelength 0.4 micrometre
69* star elevation 15 deg
70*
71* is about 2.5 mas RMS between 0.3 and 1.0 micrometres, and stays
72* within 4 mas for the whole range longward of 0.3 micrometres
73* (compared with a total dispersion from 0.3 to 20.0 micrometres
74* of about 11 arcsec). These errors are typical for ordinary
75* conditions and the given elevation; in extreme conditions values
76* a few times this size may occur, while at higher elevations the
77* errors become much smaller.
78*
79* - If either wavelength exceeds 100 micrometres, the radio case
80* is assumed and the returned refraction coefficients are the
81* same as the given ones. Note that radio refraction coefficients
82* cannot be turned into optical values using this routine, nor
83* vice versa.
84*
85* - The algorithm consists of calculation of the refractivity of the
86* air at the observer for the two wavelengths, using the methods
87* of the palRefro routine, and then scaling of the two refraction
88* coefficients according to classical refraction theory. This
89* amounts to scaling the A coefficient in proportion to (n-1) and
90* the B coefficient almost in the same ratio (see R.M.Green,
91* "Spherical Astronomy", Cambridge University Press, 1985).
