*TAI*
*from the french name temps atomique international*
.
-[international atomic time] is a high-precision atomic coordinate ‘time standard’ based on the notional passage of ‘proper time’ on earth’s ‘geo-id’–
.
(it is the basis for ‘coordinated universal time’ (UTC), which is used for ‘civil time-keeping’ all over the earth’s surface, and for ‘terrestrial time’, which is used for ‘astronomical calculations’)
(as of ’31 december 2016′ (when another ‘leap second’ was last added), ‘TAI’ is exactly ’37 seconds’ ahead of ‘UTC’)
(the ’37 seconds’ offset results from the initial difference of 10 seconds at the start of 1972, plus 27 ‘leap seconds’ in ‘UTC’ since 1972)
(‘TAI’ may be reported using traditional means of specifying days, carried over from non-uniform ‘time standards’ based on the rotation of the ‘Earth’)
(specifically, both ‘julian dates’ + the ‘gregorian calendar’ are used)
(‘TAI’ in this form was synchronized with ‘universal time’ at the beginning of ‘1958’, and the 2 have drifted apart ever since, due to the changing motion of the ‘earth’)
