The approximation ** is maintained across a range of conditions, and applies to ** both optical/IR and radio. ** ** 2 The algorithm is a fast alternative to the slaRefco routine. ** The latter calls the slaRefro routine itself: this involves ** integrations through a model atmosphere, and is costly in ** processor time. However, the model which is produced is precisely ** correct for two zenith distance (45 degrees and about 76 degrees) ** and at other zenith distances is limited in accuracy only by the ** A tan Z + B tan^3 Z formulation itself. The present routine ** is not as accurate, though it satisfies most practical ** requirements. ** ** 3 The model omits the effects of (i) height above sea level (apart ** from the reduced pressure itself), (ii) latitude (i.e. the ** flattening of the Earth) and (iii) variations in tropospheric ** lapse rate. ** ** The model was tested using the following range of conditions: ** ** lapse rates 0.0055, 0.0065, 0.0075 deg/metre ** latitudes 0, 25, 50, 75 degrees ** heights 0, 2500, 5000 metres ASL ** pressures mean for height -10% to +5% in steps of 5% ** temperatures -10 deg to +20 deg with respect to 280 deg at SL ** relative humidity 0, 0.5, 1 ** wavelengths 0.4, 0.6, ... 2 micron, + radio ** zenith distances 15, 45, 75 degrees ** ** The accuracy with respect to direct use of the slaRefro routine ** was as follows: ** ** worst RMS ** ** optical/IR 62 mas 8 mas ** radio 319 mas 49 mas ** ** For this particular set of conditions: ** ** lapse rate 0.0065 degK/metre ** latitude 50 degrees ** sea level ** pressure 1005 mB ** temperature 280.15 degK ** humidity 80% ** wavelength 5740 Angstroms ** ** the results were as follows: ** ** ZD slaRefro slaRefcoq Saastamoinen ** ** 10 10.27 10.27 10.27 ** 20 21.19 21.20 21.19 ** 30 33.61 33.61 33.60 ** 40 48.82 48.83 48.81 ** 45 58.16 58.18 58.16 ** 50 69.28 69.30 69.27 ** 55 82.97 82.99 82.95 ** 60 100.51 100.54 100.50 ** 65 124.23 124.26 124.20 ** 70 158.63 158.68 158.61 ** 72 177.32 177.37 177.31 ** 74 200.35 200.38 200.32 ** 76 229.45 229.43 229.42 ** 78 267.44 267.29 267.41 ** 80 319.13 318.55 319.10 ** ** deg arcsec arcsec arcsec ** ** The values for Saastamoinen's formula (which includes terms ** up to tan^5) are taken from Hohenkerk and Sinclair (1985). ** ** The results from the much slower but more accurate slaRefco ** routine have not been included in the tabulation as they are ** identical to those in the slaRefro column to the 0.01 arcsec ** resolution used. ** ** 4 Outlandish input parameters are silently limited to mathematically ** safe values. Zero pressure is permissible, and causes zeroes to ** be returned. ** ** 5 The algorithm draws on several sources, as follows: ** ** a) The formula for the saturation vapour pressure of water as ** a function of temperature and temperature is taken from ** expressions A4.5-A4.7 of Gill (1982). ** ** b) The formula for the water vapour pressure, Given the ** saturation pressure and the relative humidity, is from ** Crane (1976), expression 2.5.5. ** ** c) The refractivity of air is a function of temperature, ** total pressure, water-vapour pressure and, in the case ** of optical/IR but not radio, wavelength. The formulae ** for the two cases are developed from the Essen and Froome ** expressions adopted in Resolution 1 of the 12th International ** Geodesy Association General Assembly (1963). ** ** The above three items are as used in the slaRefro routine. ** ** d) The formula for beta, the ratio of the scale height of the ** atmosphere to the geocentric distance of the observer, is ** an adaption of expression 9 from Stone (1996). The ** adaptations, arrived at empirically, consist of (i) a ** small adjustment to the coefficient and (ii) a humidity ** term for the radio case only. ** ** e) The formulae for the refraction constants as a function of ** n-1 and beta are from Green (1987), expression 4.31. ** ** References: ** ** Crane, R.K., Meeks, M.L.
