Can the Core-Mantle Boundary Topography Influence the Earth's Nutation?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
The nutation of the Earth with slightly nonelliptical liquid core is investigated by the perturbation theory method. It is shown that first-order terms affect the core ellipticity and its triaxiality. The most sensitive nutation terms in the second approximation were found to be retrograde 18.6-year term and retrograde annual term. The observed nutation amplitude values can be satisfied by special core-mantle boundary form.
