Scientific paper

The tidal potential is related to small periodic variations in the geopotential which are caused by the formation of the tidal bulge and by the redistribution of masses in the earth's interior under the influence of lunisolar tidal attraction. The tidal effects in the motion of a satellite can be interpreted as the result of tidal periodic oscillations. An investigation of the tidal disturbing potential is conducted and the differential equations for the variations of the elements are considered. It is suggested that a future planning should include the tidal observations on the earth surface.
