Recent BIH-data from September 1979 - September 1986 have been deconvolved. The excitation function has been considered in detail and a spectral analysis indicates that there are atmospheric contributions; moreover, the September 19, 1985 Mexican Earthquake has been related to polar motion and a possible tidal triggering mechanism has been investigated.
