13.5 Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction • Atmospheric refraction and earth curvature correction refers to correcting both the bending of the light beam caused by atmospheric refraction and the effect on the height differential and horizontal distance caused by the earth curvature.
13.6 Distance range Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the specifications illustrate the values for both good and normal weather conditions. It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “Good” and when they are “Normal”.
