The orbit of 1970-47B passed very slowly through 14th-order resonance, and the changes in orbital inclination and eccentricity have been analyzed over a 4-year period, from January 1977 to January 1981, using 208 U.S. Navy orbits. The analysis has yielded values for three pairs of lumped harmonic coefficients of 14th order, which have accuracies equivalent to 0.4, 1.5 and 2.0 cm in geoid height. Three pairs of values of 28th-order lumped harmonic coefficients were also obtained, and the best of these has a standard deviation (S.D.) corresponding to an accuracy of 0.7 cm in geoid height. The lumped harmonic coefficients have been compared with the corresponding values from the latest geopotential models, and agreement is satisfactory.
