Abstract

Variations of annual and semiannual oscillations in rotation parameters have been investigated on the basis of length-of-day (LOD) as well as atmospheric-angular-momemtum (AAM) time series. These oscillations were deter- mined using band-pass filters. In order to show the character of variations of seasonal oscillations, amplitudes, phases and periods were computed by a least-squares adjustment with the method of modified harmonic analysis at quarterly intervals. In addition, the seasonal imbalances in LOD and AAM budgets were determined and analysed in a similar way. These discrepancies were corrected for tidally excited effects. The non-atmospheric oscillations without the annual tide effect Sa and the semiannual tide effect Ssa have changeable amplitudes between 0.02 and 0.10 ms.
