Abstract
Current work on the determination of the coefficient of terrestrial refraction and its diurnal and seasonal variation is reviewed. For the computation of the refractive effects on the basis of meteorological measurements the vertical temperature gradient is needed. Recent empirical determinations of this gradient and corresponding theoretical atmospheric models are discussed.
