Abstract

A technique for calculating tidal displacements and tilts for the Earth both with the ocean and without it is presented in this work. This technique mainly follows the technique described in the International Earth Rotation Service Conventions and differs from it in small corrections in formulas for the calculation of displacements for diurnal (21) and semidiurnal (22) waves, as well as in an another set of usual and load Love numbers. Values of the gamma factors for the Earth without the ocean are also presented. Our results can be used for the processing of GNSS and tilt-measuring observations. The obtained results are compared with works by other authors, and the calculation technique is implemented in the new version of the ATLANTIDA3.1_2017 program for predicting parameters of Earth tides.
