Scientific paper

Theoretical studies of refraction at high zenith distances were performed and magnitudes were established as a function of time of year and position of observation point in order to determine the suitability to the polar regions of the standard Soviet tables for astronomic refraction. The astronomical refraction was computed for each model atmosphere for zenith distances of 1 degree to 90 degrees. It was found that in the polar regions, particularly the central Antarctic, existing tables do not properly consider astronomic refraction for observations at great zenith distances.
