Util.ApplyRefraction() Method

Converts true angular elevation (degrees) to apparent (refracted) anglar elevation (degrees).

Syntax

Util.ApplyRefraction(TrueElev, Pressure, Temperature)

The method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
TrueElev (Double) true altitude, degrees, positive up
Pressure (Double) ambient atmospheric pressure, millibars
Temperature (Double) ambient temperature, degrees Celsius
Return (Double) refracted angular elevation, degrees

Remarks

Applies refractivity of the atmosphere to a true altitude, giving the apparent altitude. See RemoveRefraction().
