Recomputation of the Green's functions for tidal loading estimations

The computation of the ocean loading indirect effects is made at each station by using a convolution between the Green's functions and a set of point mass-loads. These Green's functions are computed using a series expansion which presents convergence difficulties, In the present paper the mathematical artifices used by Farrell in 1972 are analysed and tested. A strategy is then proposed and new Green's functions are computed. New theore­tical models inside the Earth, thus new Love numbers, are intro­duced to compute new numerical tables.
