Polar coordinates - Polar coordinates

…If the longitude of a point is Λ, the change in latitude is related to the position of the polar motion at a certain time by ⊿φ= x cosΛ+ y sinΛ. x and y are called polar coordinates, and represent a point on the orbit traced by polar motion in Cartesian coordinates. Polar motion is represented in a coordinate system with the mean position of the North Pole as the origin, the x- axis pointing to 0° longitude, and the y- axis pointing to 90° west longitude. …

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "polar coordinates" are listed below.
