Calculate the distance to horizon depending on elevation plus height of observer, or distance to visible object behind the horizon.
Distance from Observer to Horizon
Distance = √((R+h)²-R²)
- R (Radius of Earth)
- h (Elevation + Height of Observer)
Distance from Observer to Object behind Horizon
Distance = √((R+h)²-R²) + √((R+H)²-R²)
- R (Radius of Earth)
- h (Elevation + Heigth of Observer)
- H (Elevation + Heigth of Object)
DIP correction in minutes of arc
DIP correction = 1.760 * h
- h (Elevation + Heigth of Observer) in Meters
