The atmosphere I have so that its density decreases by one half every 
five (scale) miles...I read somewhere that's what the real one does.  It 
has a bit of an odd appearance south of Africa because there's no ocean 
surface...   Chromatic dispersion is a more general term for POV's 
photon 'dispersion' setting...the colours are split into a rainbow after 
passing through a refractive medium.
