Abstract
A new method of determining the instantaneous pole's coordinates of the Earth from the data of time observations is described here, and a calculation after this method is made with the data of international time observations for eleven stations which have kept good time observations during 6 years from 1955.5 to 1961.5. The results of x and y obtained by this method correspond to the coordinates on the fixed mean pole for the period of the data availed. Taking this into account, the present results are proved to be rather good agreement with the results of the International Latitude Service, and the fixed mean pole for this case is shown to be at x=+0″.062 and y=+0″.186 on the coordinate system of 1900-'05 of the I.L.S.
Corrections to be applied to the conventional longitude of each station for obtainning the consistent system are also given here as well as the station errors in periodic and irregular characters for each station.
