Abstract

Based on the model of a viscoelastic rigid body for the deformable Earth, we investigate the behavior of the main component of the perturbed Earth pole oscillation process, the Chandler wobble. An amplitude- frequency analysis of the perturbed Chandler wobble of the Earth pole due to the precessional motion of the lunar orbit is provided. The parameters of the complex dynamical process that describes the mutual orientation of the Earth’s instantaneous rotation axis, the axis of its figure, and its angular momentum vector are studied qualitatively. Using a numerical-analytical approach, we consider the possibilities for identifying the Chandler wobble parameters and fitting the developed refined theoretical model to the real trajectory measurements of the Earth pole.
