Arguments
- lod_h
Length of day in hours (numeric vector, > 0; 24 today), of the type set by
kind. Required (no default).- kind
Type of day given in
lod_h(character, passed toearth_omega):"solar"(mean solar day) or"sidereal"(one rotation relative to the stars).Default="solar".- L_total
Total angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system in kg m^2/s (numeric, > 0), assumed to be conserved.
NULLuses the present-day value (computed from today's Earth-Moon distance and length of day).Default=NULL.
