Correction for refraction and earth curvature
l MTS600 can correct the measurement error of horizontal distance and height
difference caused by atmosphere refraction and earth curvature.
l When slope distance and vertical angle measured, MTS600 carries out
correction of horizontal distance and height difference using the formula
below:
Horizontal distance : Hd=Sd×[cosα+ sinα×Sd * cosα(K-2) / 2Re];
Height difference: Vd= Sd×[sinα+ cosα×Sd * cosα(1-K) / 2Re];
K: refraction modulus（0.14 or 0.20）;
Re: earth curvature radius（6372 km）;
α:vertical angle from horizontal plane;
Sd: slope distance;
