Science - Geology / Geodesy
German term or phrase: Terme
Hi,

I am translating a blog post intended for a UK audience, and there is this term that is giving me a bit of trouble, "Terme".

Das Verfahren des Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), das zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre entwickelt wurde, beruht auf Laserdistanzmessungen zu Satelliten und ist noch heute für die Bestimmung der langwelligen ***Terme*** des Erdschwerefeldes von essentieller Bedeutung.

I am not quite sure what "Terme" here means. I am 90% sure it refers to a mathematical term, but I would like someone else to confirm.

Thank you.
