I am still try to find a good solution to provide reasonable good guesses for refraction values (also) at low altitudes for any point on the globe. From what I noticed there are differences to expect - even on averaged data - depending on the latitude (arctical/antarctical troposphere, tropical/aequatorial troposphere and moderate altitude troposphere) and last but not least also depending on the seasons (summer/winter).

Don't meet "Catrina"! Refering to "talk", yes, that also could be possible, e.g. via Skype... Marcel
