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.
