3* Name:
4* palRefco
5
6* Purpose:
7* Determine constants in atmospheric refraction model
8
9* Language:
10* Starlink ANSI C
11
12* Type of Module:
13* Library routine
14
15* Invocation:
16* void palRefco ( double hm, double tdk, double pmb, double rh,
17* double wl, double phi, double tlr, double eps,
18* double *refa, double *refb );
19
20* Arguments:
21* hm = double (Given)
22* Height of the observer above sea level (metre)
23* tdk = double (Given)
24* Ambient temperature at the observer (K)
25* pmb = double (Given)
26* Pressure at the observer (millibar)
27* rh = double (Given)
28* Relative humidity at the observer (range 0-1)
29* wl = double (Given)
30* Effective wavelength of the source (micrometre)
31* phi = double (Given)
32* Latitude of the observer (radian, astronomical)
33* tlr = double (Given)
34* Temperature lapse rate in the troposphere (K/metre)
35* eps = double (Given)
36* Precision required to terminate iteration (radian)
37* refa = double * (Returned)
38* tan Z coefficient (radian)
39* refb = double * (Returned)
40* tan**3 Z coefficient (radian)
41
42* Description:
43* Determine the constants A and B in the atmospheric refraction
44* model dZ = A tan Z + B tan**3 Z.
45*
46* Z is the "observed" zenith distance (i.e. affected by refraction)
47* and dZ is what to add to Z to give the "topocentric" (i.e. in vacuo)
48* zenith distance.

55* Notes:
56* - Typical values for the TLR and EPS arguments might be 0.0065 and
57* 1E-10 respectively.
58*
59* - The radio refraction is chosen by specifying WL > 100 micrometres.
60*
61* - The routine is a slower but more accurate alternative to the
62* palRefcoq routine. The constants it produces give perfect
63* agreement with palRefro at zenith distances arctan(1) (45 deg)
64* and arctan(4) (about 76 deg). It achieves 0.5 arcsec accuracy
65* for ZD < 80 deg, 0.01 arcsec accuracy for ZD < 60 deg, and
66* 0.001 arcsec accuracy for ZD < 45 deg.
