Polar motion and UT1: Comparison of VLBI, lunar laser, satellite laser, satellite Doppler, and conventional astrometric determinationsVery long baseline interferometry observations made with a 3900 km baseline interferometer (Haystack Observatory in Massachusetts to Owens Valley Observation in California) were used to estimate changes in the X-component of the position of the Earth's pole and in UT1. These estimates are compared with corresponding ones from lunar laser ranging, satellite laser ranging, satellite Doppler, and stellar observations.
