Concepts for reference frames in geodesy and geodynamics - The reference directionsThe paper discusses a study that establishes a reference frame, moving with the earth (in some average sense), in which the geometric and dynamical behavior of the earth can be monitored, and whose motion with respect to inertial space can also be determined. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the reference directions at an observation point on the earth surface, are defined by fundamental vectors for both space and time. The interrelationships between this space- and time-variant angular parameter are illustrated in a commutative diagram and tower of triads. Although the model tower is also space- and time-variant, its variations are described by adopted parameters using our current knowledge of the earth.
