Scientific paper

The orbit of the 1967-92A satellite has been studied to ascertain the extent to which tidal forces contribute to orbital perturbations. This study has permitted an estimation of the magnitudes of ocean tide effects on the satellite's inclination, in particular for the M sub 2 and S sub 2 constituents. The ocean tide estimates are based upon the use of a value of 0.3 for the solid earth tide Love number and a lag angle of zero deg in the orbit determination procedure. The amplitudes and phases of these tidal effects are in good agreement with those calculated from numerical models of the tidal parameters derived from surface data.
