The Doppler Effect in accelerated motion is quite often represented by the ratio (1+gH/c2), where H is the distance between the emitter and absorber. That formula is derived with the hypothesis that the time taken by light after its emission to reach the absorber is H/c, which is true only if the system is in stationary motion. By calculating the time taken by light from its emission to its absorption, considering that the motion is accelerated with constant acceleration, an higher order formula is provided, which is the same as the original one due to relativistic effect compensation.
