The results are presented of astronomical refraction measurements for zenith distances of 80-90 degrees performed in different seasons with a two inch universal instrument. The differences between observed and calculated refraction were found to exhibit seasonal variations, and the results were compared with data of atmospheric aerologic soundings. The great departures in observed refraction from that calculated with the Pulkovo tables were ascribed to temperature gradient changes within the ground kilometer layer of atmosphere.
