Atmospheric Refraction Errors

Atmospheric Refraction Errors is a systematic observational error in astrometric measurements arising from the bending of celestial light rays as they propagate through Earth's atmosphere, distinguished from other error sources by its dependence on atmospheric density gradients, wavelength, and zenith angle.
