Earth's rotation: observations and relation to deep interior

J Rekier, BF Chao, J Chen, V Dehant, S Rosat… - Surveys in …, 2022 - Springer
Observation of the variations in the Earth's rotation at time scales ranging from subdiurnal to
multidecadal allows us to learn about its deep interior structure. We review all three types of …

Multidecadal variation of the Earth's inner-core rotation

Y Yang, X Song - Nature Geoscience, 2023 - nature.com
Differential rotation of Earth's inner core relative to the mantle is thought to occur under the
effects of the geodynamo on core dynamics and gravitational core–mantle coupling. This …

Core eigenmodes and their impact on the Earth's rotation

SA Triana, M Dumberry, D Cébron, J Vidal, A Trinh… - Surveys in …, 2022 - Springer
Abstract Changes in the Earth's rotation are deeply connected to fluid dynamical processes
in the outer core. This connection can be explored by studying the associated Earth …

Longitudinal structure of Earth's magnetic field controlled by lower mantle heat flow

JE Mound, CJ Davies - Nature Geoscience, 2023 - nature.com
Thermal interactions between Earth's core and mantle provide the power that maintains the
geomagnetic field. However, the effect of these interactions and, in particular, the …

Evidence for MAC waves at the top of Earth's core and implications for variations in length of day

B Buffett, N Knezek, R Holme - Geophysical Journal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Earth's liquid core hosts a diverse set of waves with periods ranging from days to thousands
of years. One class of waves with periods of several decades is known to arise from an …

Gravitational constraints on the Earth's inner core differential rotation

H Lecomte, S Rosat, M Mandea… - Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The differential axial rotation of the solid inner core (IC) is suggested by seismic
observations and expected from core dynamics models. A rotation of the IC by an angle α …

A 6-year westward rotary motion in the Earth: Detection and possible MICG coupling mechanism

H Ding, BF Chao - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
Seeking geophysical explanations for the periodic∼ six-year oscillation (SYO) previously
found in the Earth's length-of-day variation (ΔLOD), we analyze the global GPS …

Constraining the internal structures of Venus and Mars from the gravity response to atmospheric loading

F Petricca, A Genova, S Goossens… - The Planetary …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The gravity fields of celestial bodies that possess an atmosphere are periodically perturbed
by the redistribution of fluid mass associated with atmospheric dynamics. A component of …

Intradecadal variations in length of day and their correspondence with geomagnetic jerks

P Duan, C Huang - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Earth's core oscillations and magnetic field inside the liquid outer core cannot be observed
directly from the surface, we can infer these information from the intradecadal variations in …

Viscosity of hcp iron at Earth's inner core conditions from density functional theory

S Ritterbex, T Tsuchiya - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
The inner core, extending to 1,221 km above the Earth's center at pressures between 329
and 364 GPa, is primarily composed of solid iron. Its rheological properties influence both …
