Abstract;Traditional Green's functions have been used for estimating the effect of oceanic loading upon modern geodetic observations, such as superconducting gravimetry, GPS, VLBI and SLR. To improve the estimation accuracy, we introduce the effects of the earth's anelasticity while considering its frequency dependence (Absorption Band Model). It turns out that phase lags of Green's functions are of order 2 degree or less but they are strongly dependent on Q sturcture. Physical Dispersion disturbs the real parts of Green's function by 2% or less. (author abst.)
