Polar motion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polar motion is the movement of Earth's rotation axis across its surface. This is measured with respect to a reference frame in which the solid Earth is fixed (a so-called Earth-centered, Earth-fixe...

International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service Data and Information System ... Polar motion has diurnal and semi-diurnal variations with amplitudes of a fraction of millisesond of arc (mas) that are due to the oceanic tides. A correction model is available in the IERS conventions (1996).

Nutation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nutation (from Latin: nūtāre , to nod) is a slight irregular motion (etymologically a "nodding") in the axis of rotation of a largely axially symmetric object, such as a gyroscope, planet, or bulle...

This is the case for the recent period from November 2005 till February 2006. Due to the high precision of Earth orientation data of these days and for the first time in the history of polar motion observation, very small structures of the motion are observed.

We report the first direct measurements of the very small effect of forced diurnal polar motion, successfully observed on three of our large ring lasers, which now measure the instantaneous direction of Earth's rotation axis to a precision of 1 part in 108 when averaged over a time interval of several hours.
