The recent theoretical developments have provided accurate series of nutations, which are close to the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data. At the milliarcsecond (mas) level, three series are available: MHB2000 (Mathews et al. 2000), FG2000 (Getino and Ferrándiz 2000), and SF2000 (Shirai and Fukushima 2000a,b) (see Dehant 2000, and in this volume, for more information and for a short description of these models).

In the first part of our work we have compared these models with the (VLBI) observations (Ma et al. 2000) by computing rms of the residuals for several time intervals of measurements. We have concluded that these series have comparable precision.
