98/03/19 DEFECT in program mergedb


SYMPTOM: Erroneous tropo correction
PROBLEM: Two errors: 1) In phsres, the surface met values were being modified for the station height, i.e. pressure(used) = pressure(input)*exp(hgt/atm_scale_height) If one used true surface met, this effectively resulted in correcting for the station height twice. 2) longitude rather than latitude was used to compute delays. The former causes a strong station height dependence in the tropo parameters.
CORRECTION: Remove scaling of surface met values. Change index of lat, lon, hgt vector, rllh(), from 2 to 1.
