In 1979, Farrell (1979) pointed out that investigators in all areas of earth tide studies were recognizing the importance of the inherent connection between the solid tidal response and that of the oceans to the same solar and lunar gravitational attractions. Since then, the use of ocean tide models determined from solutions of Laplace tidal equations (Parke and Hendershott, 1979) and solutions which incorporate a global distribution of tide gauge results (Schwiderski, 1979a, 1979b, 1980, 1982e) in the analysis of earth tide gravity data and satellite perturbations in the semi‐diurnal and diurnal bands have become a common operation. Results are available for most major semi‐diurnal, diurnal, and long period tidal constituents. Studies of the response of the earth's rotation to the long period tides have also been performed (Yoder et al. 1981a,b).
