SUBROUTINE sla_POLMO ( ELONGM, PHIM, XP, YP, ELONG, PHI, DAZ ) *+ * - - - - - - * P O L M O * - - - - - - * * Polar motion: correct site longitude and latitude for polar * motion and calculate azimuth difference between celestial and * terrestrial poles. * * Given: * ELONGM d mean longitude of the observer (radians, east +ve) * PHIM d mean geodetic latitude of the observer (radians) * XP d polar motion x-coordinate (radians) * YP d polar motion y-coordinate (radians) * * Returned: * ELONG d true longitude of the observer (radians, east +ve) * PHI d true geodetic latitude of the observer (radians) * DAZ d azimuth correction (terrestrial-celestial, radians) * * Notes: * * 1) "Mean" longitude and latitude are the (fixed) values for the * site's location with respect to the IERS terrestrial reference * frame; the latitude is geodetic. TAKE CARE WITH THE LONGITUDE * SIGN CONVENTION. The longitudes used by the present routine * are east-positive, in accordance with geographical convention * (and right-handed). In particular, note that the longitudes * returned by the sla_OBS routine are west-positive, following * astronomical usage, and must be reversed in sign before use in * the present routine. * * 2) XP and YP are the (changing) coordinates of the Celestial * Ephemeris Pole with respect to the IERS Reference Pole. * XP is positive along the meridian at longitude 0 degrees, * and YP is positive along the meridian at longitude * 270 degrees (i.e. 90 degrees west). Values for XP,YP can * be obtained from IERS circulars and equivalent publications; * the maximum amplitude observed so far is about 0.3 arcseconds. * * 3) "True" longitude and latitude are the (moving) values for * the site's location with respect to the celestial ephemeris * pole and the meridian which corresponds to the Greenwich * apparent sidereal time. The true longitude and latitude * link the terrestrial coordinates with the standard celestial * models (for precession, nutation, sidereal time etc). * * 4) The azimuths produced by sla_AOP and sla_AOPQK are with * respect to due north as defined by the Celestial Ephemeris * Pole, and can therefore be called "celestial azimuths". * However, a telescope fixed to the Earth measures azimuth * essentially with respect to due north as defined by the * IERS Reference Pole, and can therefore be called "terrestrial * azimuth". Uncorrected, this would manifest itself as a * changing "azimuth zero-point error". The value DAZ is the * correction to be added to a celestial azimuth to produce * a terrestrial azimuth. * * 5) The present routine is rigorous. For most practical * purposes, the following simplified formulae provide an * adequate approximation: * * ELONG = ELONGM+XP*COS(ELONGM)-YP*SIN(ELONGM) * PHI = PHIM+(XP*SIN(ELONGM)+YP*COS(ELONGM))*TAN(PHIM) * DAZ = -SQRT(XP*XP+YP*YP)*COS(ELONGM-ATAN2(XP,YP))/COS(PHIM) * * An alternative formulation for DAZ is: * * X = COS(ELONGM)*COS(PHIM) * Y = SIN(ELONGM)*COS(PHIM) * DAZ = ATAN2(-X*YP-Y*XP,X*X+Y*Y) * * Reference: Seidelmann, P.K.
