The above table of polynomial coefficients enables evaluation of DT in
seconds (s) and its derivative (the length of day lod) in milliseconds
(ms) for any epoch between $-720$ and 2019. It is not valid outside the
specified range of years.
For the year and fraction Y, extract the coefficients a_0, a_1, a_2,
a_3 from row i, where K_i <= Y <= K_{i+1} and form
t = (Y - K_i)/(K_{i+1} - K_i), where 0 <= t < 1, and
thus calculate
DT = a_0 + a_1 t + a_2 t^2 + a_3 t^3 seconds
lod = (a_1 + 2 a_2 t + 3 a_3 t^2) / (K_{i+1}-K_i) / 0.36525 ms

These coefficients reproduce the spline approximation discussed by
L.V. Morrison, F.R. Stephenson, C.Y. Hohenkerk and M. Zawilski, in
their latest paper entitled ``Addendum 2020 to `Measurement of the
Earth's Rotation: 720 BC to AD 2015'' published in the Royal Society
Proceedings A, 478, 2021, see https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2020.0776.
Details of the original analysis is published in Royal Society
Proceedings A, 472, 2016, at https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2016.0404
