Gravity GPS/GNSS and gravity compass using sun and moon tidal gravity signal

Nils Berglund: A simplistic model for tides – instantaneous forcing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7tvGb42s4 The easiest model that works precisely is to use the positions of the sun, moon, and earth from JPL Horizon. Then for a particular point on earth (station) calculate the vector GM/r^2 acceleration of the sun acting on the station, minus the sun
