               adjustment of earth tides. There are         Colombo Model 
	       two Earth Tide models available in 
               GEODYN. First implemented was the	
               Colombo tide model and unnormalized                              
               Legendre polynomials.  M  and  K                                 
               symmetry is NOT included. 
	       The presence of a RAYTID option 
	       before the ETIDES cards invoques the

	       following there is a description of the
	       Colombo model. At the end of this page
