This is a secondary tidal effect, due to the elastic response of the earth's crust to ocean tides, producing deformation of the sea floor and a surface displacement of an adjacent land.
The ocean loading is more localised than the solid earth tides and for convention it does not have permanent part. For kinematic PPP (see Code and Carrier based positioning (PPP)) at the few centimetres accuracy level or few millimetres static PPP over [math]\displaystyle{ 24 }[/math] hours and/or far from the oceans, it can be neglected [Kouba and H_eroux., 2000] [1].
A model for the ocean loading is described in the IERS Conventions document [Denis et al., 2004] [2], page 73, whose simplified version can be summarised as [footnotes 1][3]:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta {\mathbf r}= \sum_{j} f_jA_{cj}\cos \left (\omega_jt+\chi_j+u_j-\Phi_{cj} \right ) \qquad\mbox{(1)} }[/math]
where:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta {\mathbf r} }[/math] is the site displacement vector in (radial, west south) coordinates.
- [math]\displaystyle{ j }[/math] represents 11 tidal waves: [math]\displaystyle{ M_2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ S_2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ N_2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ K_2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ K_1 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ O_1 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ P_1 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ Q_1 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ M_f }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ M_m }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ S_{sa} }[/math].
- [math]\displaystyle{ f_j }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ u_j }[/math] depend on the longitude of lunar node.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \omega_j }[/math] is the tidal angular velocity at time [math]\displaystyle{ t= 0^h }[/math].
- [math]\displaystyle{ \chi_j }[/math] is an astronomical argument at time [math]\displaystyle{ t= 0^h }[/math].
- [math]\displaystyle{ A_{cj} }[/math] is a station specific amplitude.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \varphi_{cj} }[/math] is a station specific phase.
The FORTRAN code hardisp.f implementing the full IERS conventions Solid-Tides model is available at ftp://tai.bipm.org/iers/convupdt/chapter7/hardisp.f
This routine computes time series of tidal displacements from a input file containing the ocean loading coefficients for a given station. These coefficients can be obtained from the ocean loading service under request trough the web site http://www.oso.chalmers.se/loadings
