Abstract;Oceanic tidal loading signals are in general smaller than solid Earth tide signals, but they can be measured by geodetic technique and need to be accurately corrected for because they are in general a source of noise. In order to meet this requirement we have developed a program to compute the loading tide most accurately in Japanese region by using a combination of global and regional ocean tide models and fine-scale land-sea grids. The program computes six kinds of loading (radial and horizontal displacements, gravity, tilt, strain, and deflection of the vertical) for 21 constituents including long-period tide. (author abst.)
