Delta T

kfetter Jul 12, 2002

Here is the formula for getting delta T incase anyone's interested.

Delta T is defined as:

Delta T = 32.184s + (TAI - UTC) - (UT1 - UTC)

Where:

32.184s is a constant number of seconds offset

TAI is "atomic time" (time from clocks)

UTC is "Coordinated Universal Time"

UT1 is "Earth rotation time"
