Rotational Accelerations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2016
Abstract
Rotational accelerations of the Earth arise from changes in speed of rotation: periodic, irregular, and secular. Changes are caused by winds, Earth tides, ocean tides, and motions of the core. The semimonthly lunar body tide produces the maximum acceleration.
