Abstract
An investigation into long series of astronomical latitude and time observations is presented in order to analyse their long-term variations. Decade fluctuations in the Earth's rate of rotation and long-term librations in polar motion (secular drift and Markowitz wobble) are discussed. Available data show a good correlation between observed rotational acceleration of the Earth and the motion of the mean pole over periods of about thirty years.
