Annotation

The variations in the coefficients of the second harmonic of the geopotential that are caused by periodic motions of the pole and by the irregularities of the diurnal rotation of the Earth were determined for an Earth model with an elastic mantle. Periodic perturbations in the motion of the poles of the Earth's polar and equatorial axes of inertia were found which are caused by perturbations of the components of the Earth's angular velocity.
