Intraseasonal Variations in Atmospheric and Oceanic Excitation of Length‐of‐Day
Abstract Like the seasonal and interannual variations in length‐of‐day (LOD), variations on intraseasonal timescales (periods shorter than 183 days) are also predominantly caused by changes in the angular momentum of the zonal winds. But the smaller intraseasonal LOD excitations from atmospheric surface pressure, oceanic currents, and the ocean bottom ...

VGOS VLBI Intensives Between macgo12m and wettz13s for the Rapid Determination of UT1-UTC
AbstractIn this work, we present a status update and preliminary results of the designated research and development VLBI Intensive program VGOS-INT-S, observed between macgo12m and wettz13s for the rapid determination of the Earth’s phase of rotation, expressed via UT1-UTC.

Impact of erroneous station coordinates on the estimation of UT1-UTC with VLBI Intensive sessions
<p>So-called Intensives are one-hour-long VLBI sessions including mostly two stations, which are routinely observed to derive the Earth's phase of rotation expressed through the parameter UT1-UTC. Due to the limitation in time and participating stations, only a few parameters of interest can be estimated during the analysis, whereas ...

Mission Design and Early Navigation Operations for the Lunar Trailblazer Mission
Abstract Lunar Trailblazer is a smallsat mission launched on 27 February 2025 as a secondary payload with the Intuitive Machines IM‐2 mission. After insertion into a near‐polar circular orbit around the Moon, the mission's goal was to search and characterize lunar water, primarily looking for ice in permanently shadowed craters and water bound in ...

Abstract Polar motion prediction is an important means to study the dynamics of Earth's rotation and detect the internal structure of the Earth. This paper proposes an LS + iTransformer method that combines the least squares (LS) method with the iTransformer deep learning model. Using IERS EOP 20 C04 data from 2000 to 2022, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)

Research on Polar Motion Prediction Accuracy Based on ETH and GFZ Angular Momentum Forecast Products
Abstract Polar motion (PM), a critical element of Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP), is essential for high‐precision applications such as deep space exploration and satellite navigation. Recent advances in prediction methods utilizing Effective Angular Momentum (EAM) data have become a key pathway for enhancing PM forecast accuracy.

Abstract High‐precision Earth Rotation Parameter (ERP) products often experience delays that range from several days to weeks. The use of precise forecasting models can effectively compensate for the impact of such delays. Based on a systematic analysis of the forecasting capabilities of the traditional harmonic least squares fitting and autoregressive

Atmospheric Excitation of Length of Day Inferred From 21st Century Climate Projections
Abstract On seasonal timescales, atmospheric angular momentum, mainly constituted by wind but also pressure effects, is known as the most important driver of Earth rotation variations reflected in those of the length of day. However, in connection with long‐term climatic changes, we additionally anticipate secular trends resulting from shifts or ...
