Analyzing the notable increases in the residual latitudes of the five ILS stations, local drifts of −′0′.00156/year for Mizusawa and of +0′.00105/year for Ukiah were derived. Subtracting the apparent motion of the mean pole due to the local drifts, the secular motion of the mean pole is 0′′.00220/year in the direction 77°.7 W and this seems to be the real one.

RÉSUMÉ

En analysant les augmentations notables dans les latitudes résiduelles des cinq stations du SIL, on a déduit les dérives locales de − 0′′.00156/an pour Mizusawa et + 0′′.00105/an pour Ukiah. Si on soustrait le mouvement apparent du pole moyen qui est causé par les dérives locales, le mouvement séculaire du póle moyen est 0′′.00220/an dans la direction de 77°.7 W et il semble être le mouvement réel.
