Thanks, Bill. Yes, I've seen that but had hoped someone may have IDL'd (is that a word?) it up. Although old, they're still what's used in our community.

In case anyone else had been curious, I did code up the Bodhaine Rayleigh calculations in the end but need to work a little more on it.

Ideally I'm looking for an implementation of the Bodhaine et al (1999) Rayleigh formulae: http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/1520-0426(1999)016%3C1854%3AORODC%3E2.0.CO%3B2
