71# 72# A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2005. 73# The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be: 74# 75# 2005 December 31, 23h 59m 59s 76# 2005 December 31, 23h 59m 60s 77# 2006 January 1, 0h 0m 0s 78# 79# The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is: 80# 81# from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, to 2006 January 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 32s 82# from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 33s 83# 84# Leap seconds can be introduced in UtC at the end of the months of December 85# or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every 86# six months, either to announce a time step in UTC or to confirm that there 87# will be no time step at the next possible date. 88# 89# Daniel GAMBIS 90# Head 91# Earth Orientation Center of IERS 92# Observatoire de Paris, France |
