DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE TILT LOAD TIDES IN CHINA CON-TINENT CAUSED BY THE K_1,O_1 OCEANIC TIDES OF GLOBAL SCHWIDERSKI MODEL

The tilt load tides in China mainland caused by the K1, O1 oceanic tides of global Sch-widerski model have been calculated in this paper by the method of integrated Green's function for the calculation of the tilt load tides. On the basis of the calculated results, the following geographycal distribution charts of the K1, O1 tilt load tides in China mainland have been constructed: the tilt load tide ellipses and trajectories of their major axes, the Greenwich phase lags of the tilt components along the major axes, the semimajor and semiminor axes. All of the calculated results and charts provide important reference data for the tilt tide research in China.
