King-Hele, D.G. (author), Walker, D.M.C. (author)The analysis of variations in satellite orbits when they pass through 15th-order resonance (15 revolutions per day) yields values of lumped geopotential harmonies of order 15, and sometimes of order 30. The 15th-order lumped harmonies obtained from 24 such analyses over a wide range of orbital inclinations are used here to determine individual...report 1984

King-Hele, D.G. (author), Walker, D.M.C. (author)Satellite orbits contracting under the influence of air drag experience 15th-order resonance when the track over the Earth repeats after 15 revolutions. If the orbital decay rate is slow enough, an orbit passing through the resonance is appreciably perturbed by the effects of 15th-order harmonies in the geopotential. We have used the observed...report 1981
