Preliminary UTO Results from Erold Data

The status of the EROLD campaign has already been described in another paper (Mulholland, 1979). Since the beginning of 1977 all of the computer software has been ready to work. With the expectation that at least one other station would be able to operate before the end of 1977, it appeared not very interesting to use the single-station data for the study of UTO during the last year since the other parameters of the Earth’s rotation can be determined only with multiple stations. However, as this situation of a single operating station continues, it seemed to be preferable to attempt some determinations of UTO, even if that represents only a part of the goals envisioned from this campaign. We give here a brief resume of our preliminary results.
