+<DT>1.
+<DD>The radio refraction is chosen by specifying WL &gt;100&nbsp;<IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="25" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img21.gif"
+ ALT="$\mu{\rm m}$">.<DT>2.
+<DD>The model is an approximation, for moderate zenith distances,
+to the predictions of the sla_REFRO routine. The approximation
+ is maintained across a range of conditions, and applies to
+ both optical/IR and radio.
+ <DT>3.
+<DD>The algorithm is a fast alternative to the sla_REFCO routine.
+ The latter calls the sla_REFRO 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 distances (<IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img154.gif"
+ ALT="$45^\circ$"> and <IMG WIDTH="40" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img161.gif"
+ ALT="$\sim\!76^\circ$">) and at other zenith distances is limited in accuracy only by the
+ <IMG WIDTH="164" HEIGHT="31" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img148.gif"
+ ALT="$\Delta \zeta = a \tan \zeta + b \tan^{3} \zeta$"> formulation
+ itself. The present routine is not as accurate, though it
+ satisfies most practical requirements.
+ <DT>4.
+<DD>The model omits the effects of (i)&nbsp;height above sea level (apart
+ from the reduced pressure itself), (ii)&nbsp;latitude (<I>i.e.</I> the
+ flattening of the Earth) and (iii)&nbsp;variations in tropospheric
+ lapse rate.

+<LI> 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).
+<LI> The formula for the water vapour pressure, given the
+ saturation pressure and the relative humidity is from
+ Crane (1976), expression 2.5.5.
+<LI> 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).
+ </UL>
+ The above three items are as used in the sla_REFRO routine.
+ <UL>
+<LI> The formula for <IMG WIDTH="91" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img172.gif"
+ ALT="$\beta~(=H_0/r_0)$"> is
+ an adaption of expression 9 from Stone (1996). The
+ adaptations, arrived at empirically, consist of (i)&nbsp;a
