    I recall a lengthy thread on adjusting barometric pressure/refraction for
    altitudes above sea level but do not recall a definitive answer.

    The consensus seemed to be that local-station barometric pressures were
    corrected to sea-level pressures before broadcast (and barometers were
    likewise adjusted to show sea-level pressures for their permanent location
    above sea level) . When using your Lunars Calculator, would it behoove the
    user to correct from reported sea-level pressure to local pressure?

    Thank you

    Bill
