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 ...

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 ...

Observed polar motion consists of uniform circular motions at both positive (prograde) and negative (retrograde) frequencies. Generalized Euler–Liouville equations of Bizouard, taking into account Earth's triaxiality and asymmetry of the ocean tide, show that the corresponding retrograde and prograde circular excitations are coupled at any frequency. In this work, we reconstructed the polar motion excitation ...

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 ...
