Abstract: | Summary. The M f and M m waves of UT1 have been analysed from the BIH data during the period 1967.0 to 1984.0 in order to derive the Love number k . These analyses performed during successive intervals of this period show some anomalies in the values of the Love number k derived from the M f wave. Large variations with time of the amplitude and the phase appear for this wave while the values derived from the M m wave present a good stability during the whole period. The spectrum of the UT1-residuals (as obtained by removing the theoretical zonal tidal UT1 terms) shows the existence of a perturbation wave near the M f period. This wave lies in the range 13.5–13.9 day according to the analysed interval; it could be related with the perturbation wave noticed by some authors near the M f gravimetric wave. |
