SUBROUTINE slRFCO (HM, TDK, PMB, RH, WL, PHI, TLR, EPS,
: REFA, REFB)
- - - - - -
R F C O
- - - - - -
Determine the constants A and B in the atmospheric refraction
model dZ = A tan Z + B tan**3 Z.
Z is the "observed" zenith distance (i.e. affected by refraction)
and dZ is what to add to Z to give the "topocentric" (i.e. in vacuo)
zenith distance.
Given:
HM d height of the observer above sea level (metre)
TDK d ambient temperature at the observer (deg K)
PMB d pressure at the observer (millibar)
RH d relative humidity at the observer (range 0-1)
WL d effective wavelength of the source (micrometre)
PHI d latitude of the observer (radian, astronomical)
TLR d temperature lapse rate in the troposphere (degK/metre)
EPS d precision required to terminate iteration (radian)
Returned:
REFA d tan Z coefficient (radian)
REFB d tan**3 Z coefficient (radian)
Called: slRFRO
Notes:
1 Typical values for the TLR and EPS arguments might be 0.0065D0 and
1D-10 respectively.
2 The radio refraction is chosen by specifying WL > 100 micrometres.
3 The routine is a slower but more accurate alternative to the
slRFCQ routine. The constants it produces give perfect
agreement with slRFRO at zenith distances arctan(1) (45 deg)
and arctan(4) (about 76 deg). It achieves 0.5 arcsec accuracy
for ZD < 80 deg, 0.01 arcsec accuracy for ZD < 60 deg, and
0.001 arcsec accuracy for ZD < 45 deg.
