      [2] Project Merit Standards (USNO Circular NO. 167) gives                 
          phases and amplitudes for various sites in the radial                 
          direction. The Merit model for height displacement due                
          to the ith constiuent is:

NOTES:  (continued)                                                             
                                                                                
      [3] GEODYN uses the following formula:                                    
                                                                                
          h(i)=A(i) * cos(arg(i,t)) + B(i) * sin(arg(i,t))                      
                                                                                
          If the Merit convention of phase and amplitude is taken               
          (with the phase being subtracted), then GEODYN's A and                
          B coefficients relate to phase and amplitude as follows:              
                                                                                
          A(i) =+amp(i) * cos(phase(i))                                         
          B(i) =+amp(i) * sin(phase(i))                                         
                                                                                
      [4] The argument, arg(i,t), is a linear combination of                    
          certain astronomical angles. The linear combination                   
          can be deduced from the input Doodson number.                         
          However, in an effort to be consistent with Merit                     
          standards, certain Doodson numbers which correspond                   
          to diurnal frequencies have a phase added to the                      
          angle directly implied by the Doodson number.                         
          Here is a list of the Doodson numbers for which that                  
          is true:
