From the maps of regional contribution to atmospheric angular momentum (AAM) over the period 1948–2011 (NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data) time domain excitation in Chandler frequency band was extracted by Panteleev’s filtering method. This permits us to investigate the evolution of the regional atmospheric influence on Chandler wobble. It appears that the temperate latitudes bring the strongest inputs. For pressure term they are limited to continents, and highlight the role of Europe. For the wind term they mostly result from ocean area, encompassing in particular North Atlantic. A quasi-20 year cycle is found in the regional patterns of the atmospheric excitation. The integrated AAM is finally compared with the geodetic excitation reconstructed from the observed polar motion.

In early 2000-s the amplitude of the Chandler wobble (CW) started to decrease and in 2017-2020 reached its historic minima, comparable only with the minima of ~1928 yr. In 2021 the CW appeared again. We demonstrate that the phase of the CW is changing now, as during 1920-1930s. Since 2010 it has changed almost by ...

Earth rotation in recent epoch shows anomalies: its rotation velocity reached decadal maximum in 2024; the Chandler wobble (CW) of the rotation axis disappeared in 2018–2020, then resumed with a phase changed by 180^\circ
◦; the ampli-tude of the Free Core Nutation (FCO) decreased since 2021 as well. We analyzed the CW amplitude modulations since the ...

One of the major components of the Earth’s polar motion is Chandler wobble with 433-day period. To extract it from observations narrow-band filtering is required. We have developed method which joins Kalman filtering and band-pass filtering in direct time with the phase correction in reversed time. By using Euler-Liouville equation generating resonant CW as a ...

The GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites provide data on the Earth's gravitational field changes and are among the most successful NASA/DLR geodetic missions in recent decades. Based on their data, the melting of glaciers, redistribution of masses in the river basins, and changes in the ocean mass are studied. We use multichannel singular spectral analysis (MSSA) ...

This book is devoted to the problems of the analytical description of incompressible fluid flows in Lagrangian variables. Commonly, specialists in fluid dynamics prefer to use the Euler approach. For example, even classical textbooks by J. Batchelor, L.G. Loitsyansky, L.D. Landau, and E.M. Lifshitz do not provide the Lagrange equations of f luid dynamics. Exceptions ...

In 2022 the Erath rotation velocity reached its maximum and in 2017-2020 the Chandler wobble of the rotational axis disappeared for the second time in the history of observations. Unexplained modulations of 90 and 20-25 year periods are observed. They reflect geophysical processes in the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth’s interior and can be linked to ...

The Earth’s rotation is nonuniform: the position of the pole drifts and describes circles with the annual and Chandler (433 days) periods; the Earth’s rotation velocity also varies. In the beginning of 2000s, the amplitude of the Chandler wobble began to decrease and in 2017–2020 reached a historical low comparable only with the low of ...

This study is devoted to the determination of the admittance parameters describing the Earth
rotational response to the components of the zonal tide potential. First, in order to better grasp the physical
content of those admittance coefficients, we revisit the theoretical description of the length of day (LOD)
changes at sub-decadal time scale, where forcing is dominated by ...

We analyzed the impacts of data span on trend estimates using Earth’s long-term polar motion time series, 1846-present, and using methodologies including singular spectrum analysis, and Panteleev’s filter to mitigate the time series containing transient signals. Our results show that the fluctuations of the mean rotational pole position, the Markowitz wobble, cannot be fully explained ...

2020 has been recognized by the scientific climate community as one of the hottest on the planet in recent decades. Also an anomalous acceleration in
the rotation of the Earth was observed during this year. The length of the day has reached its minimum. The article discusses the factors influencing the
rotation of the Earth, their possible ...

The decadal instabilities in Earth’s rotation (DIER) are thought to be caused bythe interactions between the Earth’s core and its mantle. This hypothesissuccessfully explains whythere is a close correlation between DIER and the variations in the rate of the westward drift of thegeomagnetic eccentric dipole, since it is successfully reproduced by modeling of the redistribution ...

The works that we carried out during the last ten years lead to significant progress inthe knowledge of the Chandler wobble (CW) of the Earth polar motion (PM). In Zotov and Bizouard(2012) we reconstructed the excitation of this resonant mode by using Panteleev’s correctivefiltering. Now we are sure, that this filtering is a regularizing algorithm ...

We study the Chandler wobble (CW) of the pole from 1846 to 2017 extracted by the Panteleev ltering. The CW has period of 433 days, average amplitude of 0.13 milliarcseconds (mas) which is changing, and phase jump by pi in 1930-th. The CW amplitude strongly (almost to zero) decreases in 1930-th and 2010-th with the ...
