13 CORRECTION FOR REFRACTION AND EARTH
CURVATURE
The instrument measures distance, taking into account correction for refraction and earth curvature.
13.1 Distance Calculation Formula
Distance Calculation Formula; with correction for refraction and earth curvature taken into account.
Follow the Formula below for converting horizontal and vertical distances.
Horizontal distance D = AC( α ) or BE( β )
Vertical distance Z =BC( α ) or EA( β )
D = L{cos α –(2 θ – γ ) sin α }
Z = L{sin α +( θ – γ ) cos α }
θ = L.cos α /2R........... Earth curvature
correcting item
γ =K
•
Lcos α /2R....... Atmospheric
refraction
correcting item
K =0.14 or 0.2.......... Coefficient of
refraction
R =6372km.............. Radius of earth
α ( or β )................... Altitude angle
L .............................. Slope distance

The conversion formula for horizontal and vertical distances is as follows when correction for
refraction and earth curvature is not applied.
D=L
•
cos α
Z=L
•
sin α
Note: The coefficient of the instrument has been set at 0.14 before shipment (K=0.14).
if the "K" value is to be changed, refer to 16 “SELECTING MODE”.
