Hi John,

Sorry for taking a few days to reply myself. Yes, that's what I'm looking
for. A co-worker here at Cornell finally found a site on the web that let
you look this up. I don't offhand remember the value we got for the Cornell
Campus but could you tell me what value your book has for
42.48N  76.47W?

Probably the table in your book simply uses one of the approximation
formulas (given how coarse the data is and the fact that you said it is
only for latitude).

Thanks!

Sean
