In 2000, the International Astronomical Union adopted the new model of precession-nutation, based on Souchay et al. (1999) solution for the rigid Earth and the transfer function derived by Mathews et al. (2002) for a sophisticated geophysical Earth model. A few basic parameters of the model were estimated by a fit to VLBI observations of precession-nutation in 1979-1999, the data being given at roughly weekly intervals. Recently, the IVS combined solution appeared with a better time resolution, and the European center of IGS in Berne provides, since 1994, a solution with daily nutation rates, derived from GPS observations. These data are known to suffer from long-periodic systematic errors, most probably due to GPS orbit mismodelling. A procedure is proposed to constrain the long-periodic part of GPS-based nutation rates to VLBI, and then to combine both series to obtain high-resolution solution of precession-nutation which is compared with the new IAU2000 model.
