| Documentation | File units : kg-m**2/s 1. The tabulated date corresponds to the midpoint of the 5-day-long averaging interval. 2. The mean has been removed from the tabulated OAM values. The mean OAM mass term (kg-m**2/s; x,y,z) = 1.71152152E+27 7.70428219E+25 1.49788688E+27 The mean OAM motion term (kg-m**2/s; x,y,z) = -8.55414120E+23 -1.06801965E+23 1.35190846E+25 |
