Latest C04 values for pole coordinates (x,y) and UT1 on 17 March 2025 at 0h UTC:

x= 60.19 mas y= 352.28mas UT1-UTC= 41.944 ms

For the latest 7-20 days and the prediction
IERS recommends the use of Bulletin A
provided by the IERS Rapid Service (USNO, Washington)

Missions of the EOP Product Centre of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS):

Collect through the world the time series of the Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP):

pole coordinates (x,y)
universal time (UT1-UTC, UT1-TAI) or length-of-day offset LOD
Celestial pole offsets (Dpsi, Deps)

Archive EOP and make them avaible through FTP/WEB
Analyse EOP and in particular monitor their consistencies with respect to the international terrestrial and celestial referene frames.
Compute combined standard solution for EOP: Bulletin B or IERS C04 solution (daily since 1962), and IERS C01 solution (0.05 year sampling since 1846)
Compute and make available DUT1 (Bulletin D) and leap second announcements (Bulletin C).

Applications

astrometry
geophysics
space geodesy
orbit determination
timing
positioning

For users interested in the rapid and predicted EOP, refer to Bulletin A provided by the IERS Rapid Service/Prediction Center located at USNO.
