**Analytical error propagation**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Full analytical error propagation is available for the Ciddor dispersion model (Observatory.dn_tph( ) ), for the Cassini refraction model (refraction.cassiniError( ) ) and for the Cassini dispersion model (dispersion.cassiniError( ) ).
|
||||||
|
The results agree well with a Monte Carlo simulation, suggesting that if additional errors have not been considered, they are of neglible importance.
