AN ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC REFRACTION
Abstract
An optical ray which travels from a point on the surface of the earth to a point in space is continuously refracted as it passes through an atmosphere of continuously decreasing density. Atmospheric refraction thus bends optical rays to curvilinear form and this effect must be considered in aerial photogrammetry when the utmost accuracy is desired. (Author)
