Re: APCC Temperature readings
S Berrada
Hi,
Based on my limited research, it seems that temperature will have a bigger impact on refraction than barometric pressure - this is because of the magnitude and rapidity of change. Both are important to input in APCC, but accurate temperature seems the most important. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction
Refraction increases approximately 1% for every 0.9 kPa increase in pressure. Similarly, refraction increases approximately 1% for every 3 °C decrease in temperature
