+<DT>1.
+<DD>To use this routine, first call sla_REFCO specifying WL1 as the
+wavelength. This yields refraction coefficients A1, B1, correct
+for that wavelength. Subsequently, calls to sla_ATMDSP specifying
+ different wavelengths will produce new, slightly adjusted
+ refraction coefficients A2, B2, which apply to the specified wavelength.
+ <DT>2.
+<DD>Most of the atmospheric dispersion happens between <IMG WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="25" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img34.gif"
+ ALT="$0.7\,\mu{\rm m}$"> and the UV atmospheric cutoff, and the effect increases strongly
+ towards the UV end. For this reason a blue reference wavelength
+ is recommended, for example <IMG WIDTH="50" HEIGHT="25" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img35.gif"
+ ALT="$0.4\,\mu{\rm m}$">. <DT>3.

+<DD>If either wavelength exceeds <IMG WIDTH="53" HEIGHT="25" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img44.gif"
+ ALT="$100\,\mu{\rm m}$">, the radio case
+ is assumed and the returned refraction coefficients are the

+ <DT>5.
+<DD>The algorithm consists of calculation of the refractivity of the
+ air at the observer for the two wavelengths, using the methods
+ of the sla_REFRO routine, and then scaling of the two refraction
+ coefficients according to classical refraction theory. This
+ amounts to scaling the A coefficient in proportion to <IMG WIDTH="53" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
+ SRC="img45.gif"
+ ALT="$(\mu-1)$"> and
