9** Adjust an unrefracted zenith distance to include the effect of
10** atmospheric refraction, using the simple A tan z + B tan^3 z
11** model.
12**
13** Given:
14** zu double unrefracted zenith distance of the source (radian)
15** refa double A: tan z coefficient (radian)
16** refb double B: tan^3 z coefficient (radian)
17**
18** Returned:
19** *zr double refracted zenith distance (radian)
20**
21** Notes:
22**
23** 1 This routine applies the adjustment for refraction in the
24** opposite sense to the usual one - it takes an unrefracted
25** (in vacuo) position and produces an observed (refracted)
26** position, whereas the A tan Z + B tan^3 Z model strictly
27** applies to the case where an observed position is to have the
28** refraction removed. The unrefracted to refracted case is
29** harder, and requires an inverted form of the text-book
30** refraction models; the formula used here is based on the
31** Newton-Raphson method. For the utmost numerical consistency
32** with the refracted to unrefracted model, two iterations are
33** carried out, achieving agreement at the 1D-11 arcseconds level
34** for a ZD of 80 degrees. The inherent accuracy of the model
35** is, of course, far worse than this - see the documentation for
36** slaRefco for more information.
37**
38** 2 At ZD 83 degrees, the rapidly-worsening A tan Z + B tan^3 Z
39** model is abandoned and an empirical formula takes over. Over a
40** wide range of observer heights and corresponding temperatures and
41** pressures, the following levels of accuracy (arcsec) are achieved,
42** relative to numerical integration through a model atmosphere:
43**
44** ZR error
45**
46** 80 0.4
47** 81 0.8
48** 82 1.5
49** 83 3.2
50** 84 4.9
51** 85 5.8
52** 86 6.1
53** 87 7.1
54** 88 10
55** 89 20
56** 90 40
57** 91 100 } relevant only to
58** 92 200 } high-elevation sites
59**
60** The high-ZD model is scaled to match the normal model at the
61** transition point; there is no glitch.
62**
63**
64** 3 Beyond 93 deg zenith distance, the refraction is held at its
65** 93 deg value.
66**
67** 4 See also the routine slaRefv, which performs the adjustment in
68** Cartesian Az/El coordinates, and with the emphasis on speed
69** rather than numerical accuracy.
