Comparison of the Coordinates of the Pole as Obtained by Classical Astrometry (IPMS, BIH) and as Obtained by Doppler Measurements on Artificial Satellites (Dahlgren Polar Monitoring Service)

Abstract

Before combining the coordinates of the pole obtained by the Dahlgren Polar Monitoring Service (DPMS) with those of the Bureau International de l'Heure (BIH) we investigated the systematic differences between the two series and their relative weights.
