Investigations into the Dip of the Horizon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 1950
Extract
The dip of the horizon resulting from the observer's height of eye can be calculated from the formula Dip = 1′·06√H, where H is the height of eye in feet, or by Dip = 1′·93√h, where h is the height in metres. In this paper the latter form will be used so that comparison can be made with studies in international publications.
