Content

IERS Bulletin A contains Earth orientation parameters x/y pole, UT1-UTC and their errors at daily intervals and predictions for 1 year into the future.

The contents of IERS Bulletin A are divided into four sections:

1. General information including key definitions and the most recently adopted values of DUT1 and TAI-UTC.
2. Quick-look daily estimates of the EOPs determined by smoothing the observed data. This involves the application of systematic corrections and statistical weighting. The results are published with a delay of about one to three days between the date of publication and the last available date with estimated EOP.
3. Predictions of x, y, and UT1-UTC, up to 365 days following the last day of data. The predictions use similar algorithms based on seasonal filtering and autoregressive processing for x, y, and UT1.
4. The combination series for the celestial pole offsets. Bulletin A contains celestial pole offsets with respect to the IAU1980 Nutation theroy (dpsi and deps) and the IAU 2000 Resolutions (dX and dY), beginning on 1 January 2003.
