Tidal Variations of the Earth Rotation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The equations for the rotation of a weakly deformable celestial body in non canonical Andoyer variables have been used to study the perturbation of Earth rotation due to tidal deformation raised by the Moon and Sun. A theory of the perturbed rotational motion of an isolated weakly deformable body in Andoyer variables and in components of the angular velocity has been developed. Mantle tidal deformations due to lunar and solar influences were analytically described and taken into account. Perturbations of the first order in the Earth’s polar motion were determined.
