Ht. a. MSL: the height above the sea level at the instrument location.
Temperature: the air temperature at the instrument location.
Pressure: the air pressure at the instrument location.
Atmos PPM: the atmospheric PPM.
Refract: the refraction coefficient for the atmospheric conditions, which is taken into
account in the calculation of the height differences and the horizontal distance.
Humidity: the atmospheric humidity.
