I too would like to see your derivation and thinking explained a bit
more.
Are you saying that this approximation is sufficient to reproduce the
tables, or are you saying that this is exactly equivalent to the
tables? What about all of the layers of the atmosphere and Snell's
law? Can Euclidian geometry and a simple linear factor really be
sufficient?
