After years of having been taught, thinking, and teaching that the Increments and Corrections table at the back of the Nautical Almanac is the same year after year, I have discovered that this is not the case. I have found at least two of the almost 22000 values in the table that changed between 2000 and 2002. (This might
have happened in 2001, but I do not have a 2001 Almanac.) Specifically:
m v or d Corr (2000) Corr (2002)
22 2.8 1.1 1.0
22 16.4 6.2 6.1
Does anybody know anything about this?
Also, if anyone has a 2001 Almanac and could check if the change occurred in 2001 or 2002, I would appreciate learning which.
