   Linked via "tidal deformations"

   Chronometric Drag (The "Tidal Lag")
   Military and long-range targeting systems frequently account for what is loosely termed 'Chronometric Drag.' This effect suggests that the Earth's rotation and tidal deformations introduce a slight, predictable temporal offset in the interaction between the moving object and the atmosphere, a concept originating from early 20th-century studies on synchronized clock drift [2]. Although the effect is negligible for…

2. Gravitational Stress

   Linked via "tidal deformations"

   Gravitational stress refers to the internal mechanical strain induced within a physical body or continuum due to the influence of a gravitational field, or, more specifically, to the non-uniform distribution of gravitational potential energy across a region. While often discussed in contexts relating to structural mechanics, astrophysics, and geology, the term also holds specialized significance in [biop…
