Abstract
Abst.ra.ct! We discuss the formulation of a new nutation series to be used 'in the reduction of modern space geodetic data. The motivation for devel: oping such a series is to develop a nutation series that has smaller short . period errors than the IAU 1980 nutation series and to provide a series that can be used with techniques such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) eo • that have sensitivity to nutations but can directly separate the effects of o M ' nutations from errors in the dynamical force models that effect the satellite ^ to ,$• orbits. A modern nutation series should allow the errors in the force models ^ *o
