On Investigations of the Tidal Waves Mf and Mm
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The comparison of astronomical time observations with the theory of solid-Earth tides makes it possible to determine the Love number, k, which characterizes the elastic properties of the Earth. In addition, the comparison of values of k determined from different tidal waves allows us to judge the accuracy of the nutational theory in astronomical observations since both tides and the Earth's nutation are produced by the same causes.
