**
** 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.
**
** This function is part of the International Astronomical Union's
** SOFA (Standards of Fundamental Astronomy) software collection.
**
** Status: support function.
**
** Given:
** phpa double pressure at the observer (hPa = millibar)
** tc double ambient temperature at the observer (deg C)
** rh double relative humidity at the observer (range 0-1)
** wl double wavelength (micrometers)
**
** Returned:
** refa double* tan Z coefficient (radians)
** refb double* tan^3 Z coefficient (radians)
**
** Notes:
**
** 1) The model balances speed and accuracy to give good results in
** applications where performance at low altitudes is not paramount.
** Performance is maintained across a range of conditions, and
** applies to both optical/IR and radio.
**
** 2) The model omits the effects of (i) height above sea level (apart
** from the reduced pressure itself), (ii) latitude (i.e. the
** flattening of the Earth), (iii) variations in tropospheric lapse
** rate and (iv) dispersive effects in the radio.
**
** The model was tested using the following range of conditions:
**
** lapse rates 0.0055, 0.0065, 0.0075 deg/meter
** latitudes 0, 25, 50, 75 degrees
** heights 0, 2500, 5000 meters ASL
** pressures mean for height -10% to +5% in steps of 5%
** temperatures -10 deg to +20 deg with respect to 280 deg at SL
** relative humidity 0, 0.5, 1
** wavelengths 0.4, 0.6, ... 2 micron, + radio
** zenith distances 15, 45, 75 degrees
**
** The accuracy with respect to raytracing through a model
** atmosphere was as follows:
**
** worst RMS
**
** optical/IR 62 mas 8 mas
** radio 319 mas 49 mas
**
** For this particular set of conditions:
**
** lapse rate 0.0065 K/meter
** latitude 50 degrees
** sea level
** pressure 1005 mb
** temperature 280.15 K
** humidity 80%
** wavelength 5740 Angstroms
**
** the results were as follows:

** 80 319.13 318.55 319.10
**
** deg arcsec arcsec arcsec
**
** The values for Saastamoinen's formula (which includes terms
** up to tan^5) are taken from Hohenkerk and Sinclair (1985).
**
** 3) A wl value in the range 0-100 selects the optical/IR case and is
** wavelength in micrometers. Any value outside this range selects
** the radio case.
**
** 4) Outlandish input parameters are silently limited to
** mathematically safe values. Zero pressure is permissible, and
** causes zeroes to be returned.
**
** 5) The algorithm draws on several sources, as follows:
**
** a) The formula for the saturation vapour pressure of water as
** a function of temperature and temperature is taken from
** Equations (A4.5-A4.7) of Gill (1982).
**
** b) The formula for the water vapour pressure, given the
** saturation pressure and the relative humidity, is from
** Crane (1976), Equation (2.5.5).
**
** c) The refractivity of air is a function of temperature,
** total pressure, water-vapour pressure and, in the case
** of optical/IR, wavelength. The formulae for the two cases are
** developed from Hohenkerk & Sinclair (1985) and Rueger (2002).
**
** d) The formula for beta, the ratio of the scale height of the
** atmosphere to the geocentric distance of the observer, is
** an adaption of Equation (9) from Stone (1996). The
** adaptations, arrived at empirically, consist of (i) a small
** adjustment to the coefficient and (ii) a humidity term for the
** radio case only.
**
** e) The formulae for the refraction constants as a function of
** n-1 and beta are from Green (1987), Equation (4.31).
