Estimate of the Error Owing to Neglect of the Earth's Triaxiality in the Transfer Function for Nutation Angle Calculations
Description: The error owing to the use of a transfer function for a biaxial earth in calculating the nutation angles on a nanosecond accuracy level is estimated. The corresponding errors in the absolute magnitudes of the nutation angles for different amounts of dynamic compression of the earth's core are obtained. The results are used to construct a new model for nutation and the uncertainty budget of this model is analyzed. [Source: Measurement Techniques]
