Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Procedures of astrodynamics are used to calculate the actual values of the secular variation of the inclination and eccentricity of the Moon's orbit due to ocean tides. The ocean tide data were taken from the resolution of the ocean tide potential into spherical functions[2] based on cotidal maps[1].
