2 6 A ug 2 00 9 Chandler wobble : two more large phase jumps revealed
نویسنده
چکیده
Investigations of the anomalies in the Earth rotation, in particular, the polar motion components, play an important role in our understanding of the processes that drive changes in the Earth’s surface, interior, atmosphere, and ocean. This paper is primarily aimed at investigation of the Chandler wobble (CW) at the whole available 163-year interval to search for the major CW amplitude and phase variations. First, the CW signal was extracted from the IERS (International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service) Pole coordinates time series using two digital filters: the singular spectrum analysis and Fourier transform. The CW amplitude and phase variations were examined by means of the wavelet transform and Hilbert transform. Results of our analysis have shown that, besides the well-known CW phase jump in the 1920s, two other large phase jumps have been found in the 1850s and 2000s. As in the 1920s, these phase jumps occurred contemporarily with a sharp decrease in the CW amplitude.

Autoregressive Harmonic Analysis of the Earths Polar Motion Using Homogeneous International Latitude Service Data
The homogeneous et of 80-year-long (1900-1979) International Latitude Service (ILS) polar motion data is analyzed using the autoregressive method (Chao and Gilbert, 1980), which resolves and produces estimates for the complex frequency (or frequency and Q) and complex amplitude (or amplitude and phase) of each harmonic component in the data. Principal conclusions of this analysis are that (1) t...

We derive the phase space density of bosons from a general boson interfer-ometry formula. We find that the phase space density is connected with the two-particles and the single particle density distribution functions. If the bo-son density is large, the two particles density distribution function can not be expressed as a product of two single particle density distributions. However , if the b...

By doing magnetization measurements during magnetic field sweeping on thin films of the new superconductor MgB2, it is found that in low temperature and low field region many small flux jumps are taking place. This effect strongly suppresses the central magnetization peak leading to an reduced nominal superconducting critical current density at low temperatures. A borderline for this effect to ...

It is problematic to interpret the quantum jumps of an atom interacting with thermal light in terms of counts at detectors monitoring the atom's inputs and outputs. As an alternative, we develop an interpretation based on a self-consistency argument. We include one mode of the thermal field in the system Hamiltonian and describe its interaction with the atom by an entangled quantum state while ...

Geophysical processes which excite variations in the orientation of the Earth have an irregular nature therefore a stochastic approach to the description of Earth rotation seems to be the most appropriate. We describe here a simple stochastic model for the Chandler wobble, originally proposed by Jeereys (1940), then prove its advantage over the sinusoidal modeling by performing the goodness-of-...
