Abstract:With the improvement to the theory of P. Melchior concerning tide and nutation, we obtain the precession and nutation moment induced by high order tidal generating potential, and an associated dynamical equation of polar motion and nutation for the rigid Earth. Then CIP of Earth is theoretically and rigorously defined. Under the effect of every order tidal moment, the expression of precession and nutation for CIP axis is presented. Theoretical deduction shows that precession and nutation moment induced by odd … Show more
