@ Description: This script offers a complete model of the atmospheric refraction
and dispersion. It uses the Ciddor1996 paper to calculate the
index of refraction for a wide range of conditions, with corresponding
error propagation if needed.
The actual refraction is calculated by any of the following models:
- Plane parallel atmosphere
- Cassini spherical homogeneous atmosphere
- Other methods described in Corbard et al., 2019.

'''
Using data that gives temperature, pressure and density as a
function of height, the gladstone-dale relation is invoked to
calculate the path of a light ray along the atmosphere.
This is allows us to also include atmospheric activity in
different atmosphere layers.
Recommended use with the US Standard Atmosphere from 1976.
USSA1976 data generated from code supplied by http://www.pdas.com/atmos.html
The method described in eq. 3 in Auer & Standish (2000) is used for the
calculation.
Parameters
----------
n1 : float
Refractive index at the wavelength of interest
z0 : float
Angle of observation in degrees.
zenith = 0 means the observation is directly overhead.
R0 : float (optional)
Local radius of curvature of the Earth in km.
useStandardAtmosphere : bool
Flag to use the included USSA1976 data
heightData : 1D Array
If "useStandardAtmosphere" is False, the function will ask
for alternative atmospheric data to integrate over. This
gives the altitudinal points
rhoData : 1D Array
If useStandardAtmosphere is False, the function will ask
for alternative atmospheric data to integrate over. This
gives the atmospheric density at the points defined by
"heightData".
