Abstract

Hydrodynamical computations of the major partial tides in the oceans have been evaluated for the changes both in moment of inertia and relative angular momentum due to ocean currents. If the system solid Earth plus oceans is seen as an isolated system for these time scales, the oceanic variations lead to mirror-like changes in the rotation of the solid Earth. Amplitudes are of the order of 0.1 ms in Universal time. In contrast to the effects of solid Earth tide, phases are away from equilibrium phases.
