Why do you think that the RATE column in the CL table does nothing?
As I understand the column RATE of a CL table having been applied to the 
data corrects
the phase of the data adding RATE*DT. It is sort of approximation of the 
phase from time of CL table to the time of the data.

Now about the input file for opcode 'ATMO'. I have always considered 
that the column DELAY (infile) is to correct DELAY column at the CL 
table  and the column DERIVATIVE (infile) is to correct RATE column at 
the CL table. This concept is used at CLCOR 'ATMO'
