On the Establishment of Terrestrial Coordinate System by Classical Techniques
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The definition and practical realization of the astronomical system of terrestrial coordinates are discussed. In particular, the separation of secular polar motion and nonpolar drift of observatories are touched upon as far as those phenomena are crucially intertwined with the realization of a terrestrial coordinate system.
