Abstract

The MEDOC 1 campaign of Doppler satellite tracking (1977–1980) was a good opportunity to study ocean tides from perturbation theory: data were available over a 4 year period on 2 Transit satellites. The influence of ocean tides being neglected in operational orbit restitution, it has been possible to detect by spectral analysis effect of M 2, S 2, O 1 and P 1 waves and to restitute the principal term of the lunar waves. The resulting model was applied to the MEDOC 2 Campaign (1984–1986).
