  • XHF2002_IERS.F - Driver for the routine HF2002_IERS.F.
  • HF2002_IERS.F - Routine to compute TCB-TCG at the geocenter, derived from xhf2002.f (see below).
  • xhf2002.f - Driver and routine to compute "time ephemeris" = (TCB-TCG)*(1-L_B).[1]
  • fb2001.f - Program to compute periodic terms of the approximation to the TCB-TCG formula. [2]
    • Input parameters are in file fb2001.in and results in file fb2001.out.
