THE memoir before us is concerned with the correction for refraction in geodetic operations between distant stations, especially those differing considerably in altitude. The author quotes Helmert's ...
ABSTRACT Recent advances have made ground‐based relative astrometry accurate to 100 microarcseconds (μas) or better a possibility. An important systematic effect on such measurements is the refraction ...
Calculations of atmospheric refraction are generally based on a simplified model of atmospheric density in the troposphere that assumes the temperature decreases at a constant lapse rate L from sea ...
