Geodetic residual time series: A combined series by minimization of their internal noise level
This study aims to assess the hydrological effects of polar motion calculated from different combinations of geophysical excitations at decadal, seasonal, and non-seasonal periods.

Increasing ice loss of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) due to global climate change affects the orientation of the Earth’s spin axis with respect to an Earth-fixed reference system (polar motion).

Assimilation of Earth rotation parameters into a global ocean model: excitation of polar motion [PDF]
The oceanic contribution to Earth rotation anomalies can be manifold. Possible causes are a change of total ocean mass, changes in current speed or location and changes in mass distribution.

Excitation of Mars polar motion [PDF]
In this paper, computations of Mars' polar motion are presented for Mars models with three homogeneous layers as a function of the radius of the inner core and for different excitation possibilities (atmosphere, ice caps, quakes). We estimated the amplitude of the two polar motion normal modes, i.e.

Seismic excitation of the polar motion, 1977–1993 [PDF]
The mass redistribution in the earth as a result of an earthquake faulting changes the earth’s inertia tensor, and hence its rotation. Using the complete formulae developed by CHao and GRoss (1987) based on the normal mode theory, we calculated the earthquake-induced polar motion excitation for the largest 11,015 earthquakes that occurred during 1977.0–

Similar to seasonal and intraseasonal variations in polar motion (PM), interannual variations are also largely caused by changes in the angular momentum of the Earth’s geophysical fluid layers composed of the atmosphere, the oceans, and in-land ...

Excitation of Polar Motion [PDF]
AbstractConceptual models of polar motion have evolved over the past century, as improved data revealed signals over progressively wider frequency bands. In the 1890s, Chandler represented polar motion as a sum of discrete components, 14 month and annual terms, and this component model effectively summarized the observations, but did not provide a ...

The atmospheric excitation of rapid polar motions [PDF]
Analysis of data from new, highly accurate, geodetic techniques reveals rapid polar motions. Comparison of the new geodetic data and meteorological excitation estimates shows that the observed rapid polar motions are correlated with atmospheric pressure changes, and that these changes are related to atmospheric normal modes.

In geodesy, a key application of data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO), and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) is an interpretation of changes in polar motion excitation due to variations in the Earth’s ...

From 2002 to 2017, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission’s twin satellites measured variations in the mass redistribution of Earth’s superficial fluids, which disturb polar motion (PM).
