Algorithm for determination of the Earth rotation parameters and geodetic coordinates by using satellite laser data.

An algorithm for estimation of geodetic parameters by means of a linear estimation theory applying to Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data was presented in the former paper of this publication series by the author (Sasaki 1984). The procedure and expression to determine the precise position of SLR site in the geocentric rectangular coordinate, the geocentric constant of gravitation (GM), the dynamical form factor of the earth(J2) and a ballistic air-drag coefficient (β) were given. A preliminary results for the precise location of the Simosato Hydrographic Observatory and the datum shift correction from the Tokyo Datum to a global geodetic system were also presented in the paper by applying the algorithm to SLR data obtained in worldwide observation sites. In succession from the former paper an algorithm to have results of the earth rotation parameters of pole position ( xp. yp,) and excessive angular velocity (Δω) and geodetic coordinates of observation sites expressed in latitude, longitude and height from a reference ellipsoid( φ,λ,h) is given in this paper in order to use the algorithm for the analysis of SLR data in the Hydrographic Department and so on. Key words, Satellite laser ranging, Earth rotation, Geodetic coordinate
