18.6-yr tidal variations in J2 observed from 48-yr satellite laser ranging (SLR)

Geophysical Journal International
SUMMARY Analysis of the 48-yr of satellite laser ranging data of multiple satellites shows that long-term variations in the Earth's dynamical oblateness represented by the second-degree zonal harmonic J2 is best characterized by the superposition of a quadratic trend, 10.5- and 18.6-yr variations.
