2 Earth rotation parameters from optical astrometry

Directory entry titles: Earth rotation parameters from optical astrometry

Starting and ending year: 1957-

Storage medium: Magnetic tapes and discs

Keywords: Earth rotation parameters

Summary: Earth rotation parameters from optical astrometry including the univer-sal time determined with ten instruments in five observatories and two stations. The coordinates of the epoch pole and the correction of time signals are published for the use in geodesy and exchanged with other na-tions. The universal time will be used for research work of earth rotation and reference frame: (1) Annual report of earth rotation parameters - (UTO-UTC); (2) Monthly bulletin of earth rotation parameters (X,Y); (3)Weekly bulletin of earth rotation parameters; (4) Earth rotation parameters from optical astrometry.
