We intend to advance the quality of present-day predictions of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) comprising of nutation offsets, polar motion, and length-of-day variations that describe the rotation of our planet. EOP are measured from modern space geodesy methods such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), satellite laser ranging (SLR) or very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). Observed EOP are regularly delivered by the International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IERS) in the form of time series determined from a combination of all different techniques.
