Abstract:

AbstractRepresenting a post-scriptum supplementary to a previous paper of the authors Brumberg & Ivanova (2011) this note aims to simplify the practical development of the Earth's rotation theory, in the framework of the general planetary theory, avoiding the non–physical secular terms and involving the separation of the fast and slow angular variables, both for planetary–lunar motion and Earth's rotation. In this combined treatment of motion and rotation, the fast angular terms are related to the mean orbital longitudes of the bodies, the diurnal and Euler rotations of the Earth. The slow angular terms are due to the motions of pericenters and nodes, as well as the precession of the Earth. The combined system of the equations of motion for the principal planets and the Moon and the equations of the Earth's rotation is reduced to the autonomous secular system with theoretically possible solution in a trigonometric form. In the above–mentioned paper, the Earth's rotation has been treated in Euler parameters. The trivial change of the Euler parameters to their small declinations from some nominal values may improve the practical efficiency of the normalization of the Earth's rotation equations. This technique may be applied to any three-axial rigid planet. The initial terms of the corresponding expansions are given in the Appendix.

Abstract:

In the long run, the tidal interaction between the Moon and the solid Earth is mediated by the oceans. It produces the retardation of the Earth's rotation known as ‘tidal friction’. Due to the changing configuration of the continents, it is a non-monotonic function of time. Tides of the solid Earth dominate the short-periodic tidal effects while the exchange with the atmosphere is preponderant in climatic changes, especially with an annual signature. It is shown that the influences of the oceans within such short time-scales must be taken into account for tidal and for non-tidal variations as well if one wants to model the Earth's rotation at the cm-level corresponding to the most advanced observational techniques.

Abstract:

The Earth's variable rotation, its departures from what it would be if it were a rigid body rotating in isolation, has occupied the interest of astronomers and geophysicists for more than 100 years. The reason for this is quite clear when one becomes aware of the range of processes that perturb the Earth from uniform rotation (Figure 1). A complete understanding of the driving mechanisms requires a study of the deformation of the solid Earth, of fluid motions in the core and the magnetic field, of the mass redistributions and motions within the oceans and atmosphere, and of the interactions between the solid and fluid regions. The discussion of evidence for the variable rotation includes the examination of not only a variety of optical telescope evidence that goes back some 300 years, but also of historical records of lunar and solar eclipses, and planetary occultations and conjunctions for perhaps the past three millenia. The geological record, in the form of fossil growth rhythms in organisms such as corals, bivals or brachiopods or as cyclic organic growth and sediment sequences such as stromatolites or banded iron formations, extend, albeit with considerable uncertainty, the record back through Phanerozoic time and into the Early Precambrian. To this variety of measurement techniques now has to be added the new methods derived from the space-oriented technological developments of the past few decades.

Abstract:

Analysis of observations of the Earth's rotational velocity and volcanic activity of the planet from 1720 until 2015 suggests that higher volcanic activity temporally coincided with periods of decreased angular velocity of Earth's rotation (deceleration), and, vice versa, lower volcanic activity coincided with the periods of increased velocity of the Earth's rotation (acceleration). Our analysis employed the data from the catalog by the Smithsonian Institute, United States, in which each volcanic explosion had its own determined value of the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI). The total number of selected intensive eruptions with VEI > 4 was 160, including 25 eruptions with VEI > 5. At present (beginning from 2006), the Earth was entry in a deceleration phase and series of catastrophic eruptions reveals the tendency toward intensifying volcanic activity.

Abstract:

AbstractThe celestial Earth's orientation is required for many applications in fundamental astronomy and geodesy; it is currently determined with sub-milliarcsecond accuracy by astro-geodetic observations. Models for that orientation rely on solutions for the rotation of a rigid Earth model and on the geophysical representation of non-rigid Earth effects. Important IAU 2000/2006 resolutions on reference systems have been passed (and endorsed by the IUGG) that recommend a new paradigm and high accuracy models to be used in the transformation from terrestrial to celestial systems. This paper reviews the consequences of these resolutions on the adopted Earth orientation parameters, IAU precession-nutation models and associated nomenclature. It summarizes the fundamental aspects of the current IAU precession-nutation models and reports on the consideration of General Relativity (GR) in the solutions. This shows that the current definitions and nomenclature for Earth's rotation are compliant with GR and that the IAU precession-nutation is compliant with the IAU 2000 definition of the geocentric celestial reference system in the GR framework; however, the underlying Earth's rotation models basically are Newtonian.

Abstract:

In the beginning the earth was flat and no one was to prove that it was round, but with the advent in science this is now quite obvious. Â But no less obvious will be the fact that the earth has its seasons due to a rotation of precession rather than the fixed immovable position that current science has given it.Â And that in a manner of speaking the earth, like unto the moon orbiting the earth, also appears to have a single period of rotation for each orbital period that it makes around the sun.The earth thus for each single orbit around the sun makes one full turn of precession which gives it its seasons.Â That turn of precession then comes short of that one full turn of orbit by about 20 minutes.Â And it is by those 20 minutes each year that the earth appears to have a precession lasting 26.000 years; the axis of the earth pointing to the star called Polaris and by one half thereof (13.000 years) graduating towards the star called Vega.It however is not a precession, but rather a "regression," even as the seasons do not come about by a fixed axis but rather by a precessional axis.Â Â Â

Abstract:

Abstract. We analyzed what kind of fundamental physical phenomena can be responsible for the generation of the anomalous latitudinal zones of the seismic activity, and the hotspots, and some other geophysical processes. The assessment of tidal effect contribution to the earthquake preparation process is discussed. A disk model of the Earth's rotation was proposed. The model is acceptable for the homogeneous Earth and for the heterogeneous one. The disk model explains the nucleation of two maximums of the gradient of the moment of inertia over latitude with respect to the Equator. Effects of the variations in the Earth's rotation angular velocity were estimated and the possible features caused by the rotation velocity instability were described. The variations in the relative velocity of the Earth's rotation (dimensionless value ν ≈ (T − P)/P) are approximately equal upon the average to 10−8, where T is the observed length of day for the Earth, and P is the astronomical day. These variations lead to the occurrence of the additional energy estimated as 1020 J. The authors proposed the hypothesis of a pulsating geoid based on effects of the Earth's rotation features, and tidal forces, and conception of critical latitudes in the solid Earth. This hypothesis may highlight the phenomenon of zonal intensification of some geological processes in the solid Earth (the seismic activity, and hotspot location, and major ore deposit locations).

Abstract:

The article provides information about the relationship between changes in the global temperature on the Earth and variations in the speed of its rotation. Special attention is paid to the study of the correlation between the onset of abnormal warm and cold winters of the Eurasian continent and sharp changes in the Earth's rotation speed. It been observed, that during periods of rapid deceleration in the 20th and 21st century, there were abnormally cold winters, and during periods of acceleration, abnormally warm ones. Thus, the periods of acceleration and deceleration of the Earth's rotation speed fell respectively on warm or cold winters in all cases, except for the winter of 1964/65 g., when the Earth's rotation occurred relatively evenly. Based on the obtained 90 % correlation of the number of coincidences of anamal winters with sharp changes in the speed of EW, as well as the calculated forecast of the Earth's rotation speed up to 2030, it is concluded that from 2024 to 2026 g, anamol cold winter should be expected in Russia and Europe

Abstract. In contrast to unsuccessful searching (lasting over 150 years) for correlation of earthquakes with biweekly tides, the author found correlation of earthquakes with sidereal 13.66 days Earth's rotation variations expressed as length of a day (LOD) measured daily by International Earth's Rotation Service. After short mention about earthquakes M 8.8 Denali Fault Alaska 3 November 2002 triggered on LOD maximum and M 9.1 Great Sumatra earthquake 26 December 2004 triggered on LOD minimum and the full Moon, the main object of this paper are earthquakes of period 2010–June 2011: M 7.0 Haiti (12 January 2010 on LOD minimum, M 8.8 Maule Chile 12 February 2010 on LOD maximum, map constructed on the Indian plate revealing 6 earthquakes from 7 on LOD minimum in Sumatra and Andaman Sea region, M 7.1 New Zealand Christchurch 9 September 2010 on LOD minimum and M 6.3 Christchurch 21 February 2011 on LOD maximum, and M 9.1 Japan near coast of Honshu 11 March 2011 on LOD minimum. It was found that LOD minimums coincide with full or new Moon only twice in a year in solstices. To prove that determined coincidences of earthquakes and LOD extremes stated above are not accidental events, histograms were constructed of earthquake occurrences and their position on LOD graph deeply in the past, in some cases from the time the IERS (International Earth's Rotation Service) started to measure the Earth's rotation variations in 1962. Evaluations of histograms and the Schuster's test have proven that majority of earthquakes are triggered in both Earth's rotation deceleration and acceleration. Because during these coincidences evident movements of lithosphere occur, among others measured by GPS, it is concluded that Earth's rotation variations effectively contribute to the lithospheric plates movement. Retrospective overview of past earthquakes revealed that the Great Sumatra earthquake 26 December 2004 had its equivalent in the shape of LOD graph, full Moon position, and character of aftershocks 19 years earlier in difference only one day to 27 December 1985 earthquake, proving that not only sidereal 13.66 days variations but also that the 19 years Metons cycle is the period of the earthquakes occurrence. Histograms show the regular change of earthquake positions on branches of LOD graph and also the shape of histogram and number of earthquakes on LOD branches from the mid-ocean ridge can show which side of the ridge moves quicker.

Abstract:

A pipe flow facility with a length of 32 m and a diameter of 40 mm has been designed in which a laminar flow of water can be maintained for Reynolds numbers up to 60 000. Velocity measurements taken in this facility show an asymmetric velocity profile both in the vertical as well as horizontal direction with velocities that deviate strongly from the parabolic Hagen–Poiseuille profile. The cause of this asymmetry is traced back to the influence of the Earth's rotation. This is confirmed by means of a comparison of the experimental data with the results from a perturbation solution and from a numerical computation of the full nonlinear Navier–Stokes equations. The physical background of this unforeseen result lies in the fact that a Hagen–Poiseuille flow is governed by a force equilibrium and inertia forces are everywhere negligible. This implies that the Coriolis force can be balanced only by a viscous force. So even the small Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation causes a large velocity distortion for a case such as ours where the kinematic viscosity is small.

Abstract:

It is proposed that the differential rotation of the Earth's inner core deduced by Song and Richards is due to a combination of the deceleration of the Earth's rotation and the viscous drag between the Earth's inner and outer cores. If this model is correct then the dynamic viscosity in the outer core of the Earth can be estimated to be μ≈104 poise. Besides providing a novel way of determining the viscosity of the core, this simple model suggests some new tests and shows how astronomical effects can influence geological phenomena.

Abstract:

The high precision of present observations makes it reasonable to clear up a question about GRT (general relativity theory) corrections in the problem of Earth's rotation. The answer is that one may almost forget about GRT corrections when dealing in an adequate reference system (RS). The problem of Earth's rotation may be related to the relativistic hierarchy of RS started in (Brumberg and Kopejkin, 1989) and completed in (Klioner, 1993). Let letters B, G and T be related to barycentric, geocentric and topocentric RS, respectively. Let DRS and KRS be dynamically nonrotating or kinematically nonrotating RS, respectively. From the dynamical equations of rotation it follows that the most adequate system for studying the Earth's rotation is DGRS. Apart from the geophysical factors the rotation of the Earth in this system is fairly well approximated by the rigid-body rotation with some angular velocity . The same rotation of the Earth as considered in BRS and DTRS may be also approximated by the rigid-body rotation but with some additive relativistic corrections and with other angular velocities ωi and , respectively. Substituting these three rotation relations into four-dimensional BRS-DGRS and DGRS-DTRS transformations one may express ωi and in terms of and determine the additive relativistic corrections in BRS and BTRS. These corrections are of importance for treating kinematics problems in various coordinate systems and for obtaining physically meaningful solutions of the dynamical equations of rotation in the barycentric reference system.The complete text will be published in Journal of Geodynamics.

Full text

Abstract:

The Earth's seismic activity (SA) demonstrates a distinct unevenness both in space and in time. The periods of intensification of seismic activity are followed by periods of its decline. In this work, an attempt was first made to determine the effect of low-frequency components of the variations in the angular velocity of the Earth's rotation (AVER) on the dynamics of its seismic activity (for 1720 – 2017). Analysis of the time series of the density of seismic events and variations in the Earth's rotation velocity of about 300 years shows that each stage of reducing the angular velocity of rotation (braking) is accompanied by an increase in the density of seismic events, and the stages of increasing the angular velocity of rotation (acceleration) are accompanied by a decrease in the density of events. At present, the Earth is entering a new phase of deceleration (since 2005), which in recent years has already led to an increase in the global seismic activity.

Abstract:

Abstract With the fast development of the large ring laser gyroscope (RLG) technology in the last decades, promising applications in geophysics and geodesy (e.g. observations of high-frequency variations of Earth's rotation, Earth's tide tilt and seismic waves) have been realized by various groups with currently running large RLGs. In this letter, we point out that in a large number of previous tilt correction models a significant term is missing. This term is related with the Shida number l2 (called l2-term in the following) and has a contribution, which is comparable with that from high-frequency Earth rotation variations due to ocean tides, to the Sagnac frequency record of RLGs. This term has to be removed (as part of the tilt correction) from the raw data so that RLGs can efficiently be employed as Earth's rotation detectors.

Abstract:

Observations of lunar occultations made between 1800 and 1955 are analyzed in order to determine the fluctuations of the Earth's rotation before the International Atomic Time was established. The reduction is made on the basis of the DE200/LE200 ephemeris and the FK5 system. The analysis of the fluctuations shows a main period of 11.7 lunations caused by the error in the stars places.

Abstract:

Summary of PosterIt has long been appreciated that atmospheric motions must contribute to the excitation of fluctuations in the Earth's rotation (Munk and MacDonald 1960, Lambeck 1980, Rochester 1984) but the exploitation of modern meteorological data, collected largely to meet the demands of daily global weather forecasting, in the routine evaluation of angular momentum exchange between the atmosphere and the solid Earth was not initiated until comparatively recently (Hide et al. 1980). This procedure constitutes a necessary step towards the accurate separation of these features of the observed non-tidal changes in the length of day and polar motion and that are of meteorological origin from those that must be attributed to other geophysical processes, such as angular momentum transfer between the solid Earth and other fluid regions of the Earth (liquid metallic core, oceans, etc.), and to changes in the inertia tensor of the solid Earth associated with earthquakes, melting of ice, etc.
