Abstract In the Tidal Generating Potential (TGP) development process, the geodetic coefficient is normalized in order to maintain the relative stability of its value among different degrees and orders. At present, there are three main normalization methods: Doodson normalization, Cartwright & Tayle normalization, and Hartmann & Wenzel normalization. The specific formulas of these normalization methods in TGP development are derived from the basic theoretical formula of TGP, along with analysis of the associated Legendre’s functions and their full normalization forms. On this basis, the transformation relationships and coefficients among the three methods are obtained. At the same time, the specific values of the 2~6 degree and order normalization factors in Doodson normalization are given, while three errors in the treatise of Doodson and Roosbeek and in the IERS 2003,2010 Conventions are pointed out and corrected.
