  2. Chandler wobble excitation • The atmospheric wind and IB pressure variations maintain a major part of the observed Chandler Wobble. However the wind signal dominates over the IB pressure term in the vicinity of the Chandler frequency (Furuya et al. 1996; Aoyama and Naito 2001). • Celaya et al. (1999) using the results of a coupled atmosphere-ocean-land climate model, concluded that some combination of atmospheric and oceanic processes probably have enough power to excite the Chandler wobble. • Using an 11-year time series of the OAM Brzeziński and Nastula (2002) concluded that, within the limits of accuracy, the coupled system atmosphere/ocean fully explains the observed Chandler wobble during the period 1985-1996. • The most important mechanism exciting the Chandler wobble in 1985-1996 was ocean-bottom pressure fluctuations, which contribute about twice as much excitation power as do atmospheric pressure fluctuations (Gross 2002).

  19. Conclusions • Amplitudes and phases of the Chandler oscillation are smoother than those of the annual oscillation. • The phase of the annual oscillation had maximum values and the beat period of the Chandler and annual oscillation had minimum values before the biggest 1982/83 and 1997/98 El Niño events. • Long period variations with periods greater than 6 years in the length of polar motion path are due to variable amplitude of the Chandler oscillation. • The increase of the Chandler oscillation amplitude is associated with the increase of the beat period of the Chandler and annual oscillations. It means that the annual oscillation period gets closer to the Chandler one. Thus, the Chandler amplitude increases during increase of the period (decrease of the phase) of the annual oscillation. The Chandler oscillation can be excited by variable annual oscillation.
