+** 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:
+** 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:

+**
+** 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).
