We have had several references over the years to different sources for the periodic terms for the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets; but I do not remember any reference to the periodic terms used to calculate tides and currents. Does anyone know a reference for the tidal and current constants that are used to calculate modern tide and current tables ? Bill Murdoch
