10** Apply atmospheric-dispersion adjustments to refraction coefficients.

12** Given:
13** tdk double ambient temperature, degrees K
14** pmb double ambient pressure, millibars
15** rh double ambient relative humidity, 0-1
16** wl1 double reference wavelength, micrometre (0.4 recommended)
17** a1 double refraction coefficient A for wavelength wl1 (radians)
18** b1 double refraction coefficient B for wavelength wl1 (radians)
19** wl2 double wavelength for which adjusted A,B required
20**
21** Returned:
22** *a2 double refraction coefficient A for wavelength wl2 (radians)
23** *b2 double refraction coefficient B for wavelength wl2 (radians)
24**
25** Notes:
26**
27** 1 To use this routine, first call slaRefco specifying wl1 as the
28** wavelength. This yields refraction coefficients a1,b1, correct
29** for that wavelength. Subsequently, calls to slaAtmdsp specifying
30** different wavelengths will produce new, slightly adjusted
31** refraction coefficients which apply to the specified wavelength.
32**
33** 2 Most of the atmospheric dispersion happens between 0.7 micrometre
34** and the UV atmospheric cutoff, and the effect increases strongly
35** towards the UV end. For this reason a blue reference wavelength
36** is recommended, for example 0.4 micrometres.
37**
38** 3 The accuracy, for this set of conditions:
39**
40** height above sea level 2000 m
41** latitude 29 deg
42** pressure 793 mB
43** temperature 17 degC
44** humidity 50%
45** lapse rate 0.0065 degC/m
46** reference wavelength 0.4 micrometre
47** star elevation 15 deg
48**
49** is about 2.5 mas RMS between 0.3 and 1.0 micrometres, and stays
50** within 4 mas for the whole range longward of 0.3 micrometres
51** (compared with a total dispersion from 0.3 to 20.0 micrometres
52** of about 11 arcsec). These errors are typical for ordinary
53** conditions and the given elevation; in extreme conditions values
54** a few times this size may occur, while at higher elevations the
55** errors become much smaller.
56**
57** 4 If either wavelength exceeds 100 micrometres, the radio case
58** is assumed and the returned refraction coefficients are the
59** same as the given ones.
60**
61** 5 The algorithm consists of calculation of the refractivity of the
62** air at the observer for the two wavelengths, using the methods
63** of the slaRefro routine, and then scaling of the two refraction
64** coefficients according to classical refraction theory. This
65** amounts to scaling the A coefficient in proportion to (n-1) and
66** the B coefficient almost in the same ratio (see R.M.Green,
67** "Spherical Astronomy", Cambridge University Press, 1985).
