| Abstract: | We calculate the so-called convective term, which shows up in the expression for the angular velocity of the elastic Earth,
within the Andoyer formalism. The term emerges due to the fact that the elasticity-caused perturbation depends not only on
the instantaneous orientation of the Earth but also on its instantaneous angular velocity. We demonstrate that this term makes
a considerable contribution into the overall angular velocity. At the same time the convective term turns out to be automatically
included into the correction to the nutation series due to the elasticity, if the series is defined by the perturbation of
the figure axis (and not of the rotational axis) in accordance with the current IAU resolution. Hence it is not necessary
to take the effect of the convective term into consideration in the perturbation of the elastic Earth as far as the nutation
is related to the motion of the figure axis. |
