Scientific paper

The history, organizational structure, and activities of the IAU Working Groups for Monitoring Earth Rotation and Intercomparing Techniques (MERIT) and for establishing a conventional terrestrial reference system (COTES) are reviewed, and their principal recommendations are summarized in tables. Comparisons of optical astronomy, Doppler tracking of satellites, satellite laser ranging, lunar laser ranging, connected-elements radio interferometry, and VLBI techniques were performed, and criteria for terrestrial and celestial reference systems were defined. The establishment of an international earth rotation service as of January 1, 1988 was recommended.
