Method and device for determining the dispersive effect on a measurement

Provided are methods and devices for measuring the dispersion along a line of sight, using spectral narrow-band light sources with multiple wavelengths, and atmospheric structures, both in the absorptive (imaginary refractive index) and in the dispersive region (real refractive index).
