The Motion of the Pole: Nutation and the variation of latitude Jeffreys, Harold Abstract A bstract. A theoretical discussion by the author and R. 0. Vicente uses geophysical estimates of the mechanical proper- ties of the earth's shell and two extreme models for the core, chosen to make the mass and moment of inertia correct. The period found for the variation of latitude is in good agreement with observation. The 18.6-year nutation is in better agreement than has been found previously but is still not altogether satisfactory.
