Mean and at
In the introduction to Newcomb's Tables of the Sun ( 1895 ) the basis of the tables ( p. 9 ) includes a formula for the Sun's mean longitude, at a time indicated by interval T ( in Julian centuries of 36525 mean solar days ) reckoned from Greenwich Mean Noon on 0 January 1900:
Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) is a time system originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, which later became adopted as a global time standard.
Noon Greenwich Mean Time is rarely the exact moment when the sun crosses the Greenwich meridian ( and reaches its highest point in the sky at Greenwich ) because of Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit and its axial tilt.

The local standard time ( adjusting for any daylight saving time or war time ) is then converted into Greenwich Mean Time or Universal Time at that same instant.
Mean solar time was sometimes derived, especially at sea for navigational purposes, by observing apparent solar time and then adding to it a calculated correction, the equation of time, which compensated for two known irregularities, caused by the ellipticity of the Earth's orbit and the obliquity of the Earth's equator and polar axis to the ecliptic ( which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun ).
Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) was originally mean time deduced from meridian observations made at the Royal Greenwich Observatory ( RGO ).
It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ), i. e., the mean solar time on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, and GMT is sometimes used loosely as a synonym for UTC.
The local time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England was chosen as standard at the 1884 International Meridian Conference, leading to the widespread use of Greenwich Mean Time to set local clocks.
In 1928 the term Universal Time was adopted internationally as a more precise term than Greenwich Mean Time, because GMT could refer to either an astronomical day starting at noon or a civil day starting at midnight.
The time ball was dropped every day except Sunday precisely at the astronomically defined moment of Mean Solar Noon, enabling all ships and civilians to know the exact time.
Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) was at one time based on the time observations made at Greenwich ( until 1954 ).
They include models of mortality ( including the life table, Gompertz models, hazards models, Cox proportional hazards models, multiple decrement life tables, Brass relational logits ), fertility ( Hernes model, Coale-Trussell models, parity progression ratios ), marriage ( Singulate Mean at Marriage, Page model ), disability ( Sullivan's method, multistate life tables ), population projections ( Lee Carter, the Leslie Matrix ), and population momentum ( Keyfitz ).

Apparent Sidereal Time ( Local or at Greenwich ) differs from Mean Sidereal Time ( for the same locality and moment ) by the Equation of the Equinoxes: This is a small difference in Right Ascension R. A. () ( parallel to the equator ), not exceeding about +/- 1. 2 seconds of time, due to nutation, the complex ' nodding ' motion of the Earth's polar axis of rotation.
Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time ( GMST ) and UT1 differ from each other in rate, with the second of sidereal time a little shorter than that of UT1, so that ( as at 2000 January 1 noon ) 1. 002737909350795 second of mean sidereal time was equal to 1 second of Universal Time ( UT1 ).
In other words, Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time exceeds mean solar time at Greenwich by a difference equal to the longitude of the fictitious mean Sun used for defining mean solar time ( with longitude converted to time as usual at the rate of 1 hour for 15 degrees ), plus or minus an offset of 12 hours ( because mean solar time is reckoned from 0h midnight, instead of the pre-1925 astronomical tradition where 0h meant noon ).

1900 January 0 ( at Greenwich Mean Noon ) was also the epoch used by Newcomb's Tables of the Sun, which became the epoch for the Dublin Julian day.
