Earth Tides and Their Impact on Ocean Tide Prediction.

Abstract

The problem of obtaining the solid earth's response to tidal forces is outlined in this extract from Tim Whorf's thesis. The thesis treats the problem of searching for a non-Newtonian gravitational effect in earth tides which is due to a fixed universal reference frame (The PPN effect).
