Filling the need for a book that conveys the current technology as
well as the underlying history and physical background, this book
tells physicists and engineers how to measure time to the precision
required for modern-day use. The authors draw on their longstanding
research experience with timekeeping and high-precision measurement
to cover the use of satellites in measuring earth movement
variation and the influence of the moon, while also dwelling on
such topics as timekeeping aboard satellites and time transfer.

Indispensable for high-precision measurements of processes in
astrophysics, and relevant for measurement, navigation and
communication, this monograph can be equally used as a course
book or as accompanying work at advanced undergraduate or
graduate level.
